You can also specify it in your HTML, rather than getting the browser to
guess that it might be at /favicon.ico:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://anywhere/you/like.com";>
This way it'll always appear in any supported browser -- some browsers
will only look for /favicon.ico when you bookmark the page. It also
gives you per-page control of the icon, rather than per-site.
