html favicon problem?
I've updated the favicon on my website and I want to be sure it appears in a person's browser who has already visited the website. Is there a way to do this? If not, how often will that person's browser update their cache to include my new favicon? Any help is appreciated.

It really comes down to how the browser is managing its own cache of favicons. There are ways for a user to clear their own favicon cache in their browser, but don't count on them doing it just for your site. Using the <link> tag, you can at least point to a different file and maybe that will trigger the browser to update the favicon for that page.
