 When you first install WordPress, the very first interaction you have with
 WordPress is an error - by design.

 The message is, "There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file....". The
 page title is "WordPress > Error". For new users to WordPress, this is an
 intimidating message suggesting that they have done something wrong.

 This page hasn't been updated for a while. This ticket provides a more
 welcoming first page for new users.

 Summary of Changes:
 * Replaced error message with a more friendly message.
 * Changes page title from "WordPress > Error" to "Welcome to WordPress
 [version number]"
 * Changed HTML div name from #error-page to #wp-welcome-page. Updated
 associated CSS.
 * Added WordPress png and svg logo to top of page.


 Please see attached screenshot of before and after.
