Creating a WebClip Bookmark Icon

Wednesday January 16, 2008 8:29 am PST by Arnold Kim
Dan Dickinson posts instructions on how to create your own custom WebClip Icon for your website:

- Create a 57x57 PNG.
- Name it "apple-touch-icon.png"
- Throw it in the root folder of your website. (Not the root of your server, the root of your web documents.)

More instructions for web designers available at Apple's iPhone Dev Center.

Cool. Kinda like a favicon.

Google.com must have one of these, since no matter where you scroll to, you get a nice, centered Google logo as your icon.

I had noticed that Google already did this with their iPhone search/gmail/calendar/reader sites...
I just didn't know exactly how to implement it. Props for the mad investigatory skills!

No rush, but hurry. This is great.
