Editing my verbiage a bit

I typically don't have any issues showing the favicon when posting articles to Facebook, for example.

Favicon not showing up when adding an article or blog post to Stack Overflow Careers

I'm clicking "add an article or blog post you’ve written" on my Careers profile, and adding a URL such as:

http://www.websightdesigns.com/posts/view/how-to-set-up-a-local-web-server-with-homebrew-on-mac-os-x-10-9

However, after I click "Get Article" I see a broken image for the icon.

When I inspect the element of this broken image, it shows the following code:

<img alt="" class="favicon" src="http://www.websightdesigns.com/posts/view/how-to-set-up-a-local-web-server-with-homebrew-on-mac-os-x-10-9/favicon.ico">

Here are the entire contents of the document's <head> tag:

<head>

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.websightdesigns.com/">
</head>

As you can see, the only line in the <head> tag that mentions favicon.ico is:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Am I missing something, or this an bug in Careers Profiles?

I typically don't have issues when posting articles to Facebook, for example.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
