iPhone webmark

phofuki webmark iconDo you have a fav icon?  What about a fav icon for the iPhone aka webmark?  There really isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t have either one.  Just like a fav icon, the webmark will create a graphic link on an iPhone (further distinguishing your site from others).  It can be argued on how important the graphic is but one thing you’ll notice when looking at your own favorites folder is that the links with a unique graphic beside it catch your attention first.  The graphic is like a logo in that it brands your site and raises awareness.

The webmark is a graphic file is limited to the following 3 criteria and your own creativity.

  1. it must conform to a 57 x 57 pixel canvas
  2. must have the name ‘apple-touch-icon.png
  3. saved in your root folder of the website (not the server)

That’s it!  Pretty easy, now you get out there and make yours.  If you’re feeling especially proud of your icon, send it to me so I can post it here on phofuki.com
