The appearance of your blog is one of the epic factors which make sure that your blog will get a good number of loyal readers who won't be able to stop their-selves to visit your blog again just because of your nice and friendly blog-design.
A good design doesn't just increases subscribers but it also decreases the bounce rate and increases the average time a reader spends on your blog.
Today in this post, i am going to talk on one of the factors that effect your blog's appearance pretty hard.

The only limitation to create a favicon is that it should be a 16 x 16 or 32 x 32 .ico file.
