 * I keep getting emails from my wordpress site:
 * “A user tried to go to [http://www.sismagazine.com/favicon.ico](http://www.sismagazine.com/favicon.ico)
   and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn’t their fault, so try fixing
   it. They came from [http://www.sismagazine.com/tag/gladiator/&#8221](http://www.sismagazine.com/tag/gladiator/&#8221);
 * “A user tried to go to [http://www.sismagazine.com/2009/04/15/](http://www.sismagazine.com/2009/04/15/)
   and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn’t their fault, so try fixing
   it. They came from **[http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=j7B&q=%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Fcelebritypress&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=](http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=j7B&q=%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Fcelebritypress&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=)**“
 * Why do I get this warning? Is someone trying to enter my wordpress through google?
   Am I being hacked??

 * The first is a typical 404 error if you have not created a [favicon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon)
   for your site. I believe that some browsers (Firefox et al) automatically look
   for the favicon and it may return a 404 if you don’t have one.
 * The other error appears to be a standard 404 message. I don’t really see evidence
   of malicious intent.
 * As far as why you’re getting emails about this, you may have a plugin installed
   that automatically notifies you of 404 errors. Check your installed plugins.
