Why this shortcut icon declaration in my pages?

This appears in my Backlight pages? Why? What does it do?

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="data:;base64,iVBORwOKGO=" />

Also...

How / where do I provide a meta description for my "pages"? This is what is currently generated:

<meta name="description" content="" />

Thank you in advance.

Re: Why this shortcut icon declaration in my pages?

there is no field to add the page meta description. But you can add one by inserting an empty album into a page:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="data:;base64,iVBORwOKGO=" />

can you post a link to your site so we can see this?

for anyone following, it looks like that bit of code is there if you haven't enable a Favicon image in your page template.

It's basically there to prevent "cannot find favicon" page errors, which sometimes occur when you haven't provided one.
