Iphone Webclip Bookmark

Suggestion: Can you creat a webclip bookmark for the site?

I am not a tech guy but I found the info here iPhone Dev Center - Apple Developer Connection on how to do it click the Create Web Clip Book mark section or read here:

iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.

To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.

To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.

The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.

Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

As new Iphone user I have created a weblink on my phone. But wish I had a cool logo instead of the plain one they use if you don't have one of these logo things.

What do you think Adam?

I'm not a Mac user and I definitely didn't know about this earlier, but uploading and converting a single PNG file wasn't much of a problem. I hope you're able to make a 'WebClip' the next time you log on from your iPhone!
