 * What is “favicon.ico”? I’m getting errors on my web site because that file can’t
   be found. When is it displayed, from where and why?

 * Easiest way to overcome the issue is to search on the web for favicon, download
   one you like and put it in your root directory.
 * It is the little icon which sometimes appears before the site url in your browser
   address bar.
