# REDIRECT FAVICONZ
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} favicon.ico [NC]

A bit frustrating perhaps, but not serious enough to ...

- htaccess Combo Pack: WordPress Permalinks and non-www Redirect
- WordPress users employing permalinks via htaccess to optimize their dynamic URLs transform complicated-looking links such as:
http://example.com/blog/index.php?page=33
..into search-engine friendly links such as:

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
