Publish your own magazine 4 free



If you ran a magazine, what would you call it? What kind of articles would it have?
What if I told you, you could be your own chief and editor of your own magazine? How cool is that!

Want your followers to know what you find cool or interesting on the interwebs? Well then you need paper.li.

Paper.li is a website thingamabob that is hooked up to your social medias including your Youtube account and it places all your goings on in a nice magazine style format that is delivered to your followers daily in their email box.

This is great for any active blogger! it shows your audience what you all about and gives them a chance to comment and join your conversations. I really like how professional it looks and it easy to navigate.

You can customize it to your liking with what to share and what not to share. right now I only have three sections Headlines, Stories and Articles. This is great for someone like me who is a bit lazy and doesn't do a lot of online socializing as it gets me inspired to seek out the cool and fabulous, so that my magazine can have some cool articles for my followers to read. It even comes with a browser widget that you can add anything to your magazine in a click!

My magazine is called The Interwebs Chic you can follow it here. https://paper.li/themakeupsquid/1388257556

What will you call your magazine? Let me know so I can follow back :)

How to create a favicon

Whats a favicon?

A Favicon is the little graphic on your page tabs on your favorite browser, they are also listed right next to the names of the links in your favorites.

This is a good form of branding, Look at my favicon on my page tab, its that little pink bow :).

every brand needs a favicon, I mean we all the the blogger icon right? That orange B, or that blue G from the Google home page. Well you want one too right?

I am going to show you how to make one of those awesome little icons for your own blog or website.

First you need an image this image can be anything you want it to be, but it must be a even square.
500x500, 1000x1000, as long as it is even it will work.

You can make one yourself if you like but it isn't necessary. You can take your blog button and turn it into a favicon or your face if you like.

I went through a google images and did a search for royalty free png. graphics and found my bow.

png. is the best file format as it is a transparent graphic.

once you have found your image go to 

1. click import image
2. choose your file
3. click the shrink to square icon option
4. Click upload

Now you are going to see a bad pixelated version of your image, don't panic.

Click the download button and save the ico file to your machine.

Now log into your blogger account and go to your layout page. and on the top left corner
you will see a favicon widget thingy. Click it and upload your file!

This will take a few minuets to show up on your page, but its there I promise.
I added my blog to my favorites and i shows my favicon right next to my page name I love it!!

I hope this help! if you need any more help please let me know, Good Luck!
