    My website(blog) is http://www.techfreakstuff.com

    My favicon (icon besides the website address in the address bar of the browser) was visible until 5 days back....but suddenly it has changed to the original Blogger logo.

    Can you please tell me the reason?

    what should I do for this?:confused:

    Interesting. This seems to maybe be going around with Blogger.

    Here's you problem:
    
    <link href='http://gr8bloggerman.googlepages.com/techfreakstuff.png' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/png'/>
    <meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>
    <meta content='true' name='MSSmartTagsPreventParsing'/>
    <meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>
    <link href='http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
    
    Code (markup):
    Note the last link to the favicon. As it is below your link, yours gets trumped by it.

    However, I'm suspecting a patern here that might suggest that Blogger.com is enforcing their own favicon. See this thread for more info:
