Hey, today I am going to tell you how to add a logo to a blogger blog. In this article, I am going to tell you everything about how you can insert a logo on Blogspot and how?
When you start blogging, your first recommendation is to start a blog on blogger. Blogger is best in beginning.
We all know Blogger is very different than WordPress. Blogger is a basic blogging platform used by beginners. There are no more customization options in Blogger. You have to do everything manually there. On the other hand in WordPress, you can do some work with a single click by using plugins.
Let’s get started without wasting your time:
How to add a logo to a Blogger blog?
You see different websites daily. Every site has a different logo. This is mandatory to have a logo on the header of the website. On some sites you find the logo in the sidebar and on some sites you find it in the footer. Next, you will see where you can insert the logo in Blogspot. I will tell you the easy tutorial by following that you can add your logo easily.
1. Add logo to Blogger header
Before adding a logo you need to understand the blogger’s dashboard and customization options. Let’s start the steps as follows:
Step 1 – Go to Blogger dashboard.
Step 2 – Open Layout option.
Step 3 – There you can see the Header Logo click on it.
After clicking on that it will open Configure header pop-up page. There you can see many customization options.

- Blog description: Enter your Blog’s description here. It won’t display on your header.
- Image: Here you can see the overview of your logo.
- Image placement: This will decide what will be the location of the header logo.
- Behind title and description: Select this if you are willing to show the title and description in the presence of the logo.
- Instead of title and description: Select this if you don’t want to show the title and description with the logo.
- Have a description placed after the image: If you just want to show a description after the logo.
Step 4 – Check the Upload image from computer then click the “Choose File” button.
Step 5 – Select the logo image from your device. After selecting the logo it will display there.

If you are willing to add the logo in the sidebar, the position of your logo depends on your theme. Because every theme has different places to add gadgets.

Step 2 – Scroll down and find Sidebar options and click on the +Add a Gadget button under the sidebar.

Note: The image will be shrunk to 256 pixels wide only, not more than that.
3. Add logo to Blogger footer
The process to add the logo in the footer is similar to the process of the sidebar. Earlier you created a widget in the sidebar, now you want to create the same widget in the footer. The options to create widgets are similar in the sidebar and footer.
Here are also options available to move your logo from one place to another place. If you want to add some introduction to your blog, add that to the caption area of the image. Mostly there are three places to add the logo in the footer left, middle, and right side of the footer. But having these places to add the image widgets depend on your theme.
You can also add the contact form to your blogger blog. I have written a very brief but short article about it.
Winding-up
Adding a logo is a mandatory task because it points to your site identity. Adding a logo is not enough task, you also have to add a favicon to a blogger blog. When someone opens your site, he will also your favicon in the tab bar of the browser.
