images folder is missing

folder "images" with file "favicon.ico" is missing

It's there under static/images/favicon.ico. And it's working because if you run the site locally you'll see the image in a web tab. Perhaps you expected the images folder to not be within static?

Using static is a good idea because then we can refer to things in it with the {% static %} tag which is what we do in base.html template. Also it gives us the option to put ALL static files on a CDN which is a better idea in production than running as part of Django itself.

Let me know if I've misunderstood the issue. Thanks for commenting!
