Jonathan:

Adding a forward slash didn't fix it. I even checked the code provided
to me by the site that generated the favicon.ico itself.

I also ran a favicon validator service I found here:

http://www.htmlkit.com/go/favicon/validator/

And it passed validation.

But what I've just noticed is, the actual favicon is 32x32. That's
what gets generated when you upload your image file here:

http://www.chami.com/html-kit/

They give you a 16x16 animated version (don't want to use that!), and a
16x16 PNG format as a preview.

But no 16x16 .ico file.

So, let's figure out how to get a static 16x16 .ico file produced.
What's behind this file conversion process, anyway? It's not actually
disguised as a bitmap format, I already tried.

Thanks.
