iPhone: Create an Application Icon from a Safari Bookmark

Have you ever wanted to easily access to your favorite news site directly from your iPhone Home Screen? I don't know about you, but I really hate opening Safari and navigating the various windows just to load a single site, especially when I'm short on time and I just want to read a few headlines.

You can create a bookmark to a particular site and have an icon for it created on your iPhone Home Screen:

1. Browse to the site and click the + icon at the bottom of the screen.
2. Click Add to Home Screen



3. If you want, modify the name or accept the defaults. If a favicon is not provided by the site, an icon is generated using the visible portion of the site.



4. The icon is then added to the Home Screen and can be moved around and deleted like the other icons (by pressing down on the icon until it starts wiggling).
