Can someone give me the lowdown on favicons

That wiki article explains a lot. Google kept giving me conflicting info, but it's due to changes in the ways browsers handle favicons as new versions come out.

On a slight tangent, I found something interesting...I post it because it looked like fairly recent info: (link was very slow to load for me).

That link locked my browser and put me in pop up hell for a few mins.

I did visit your site today and the favicon worked just fine for me in ie7.
