Set Your Site’s Apple Touch Icon
Apple's mobile devices are taking over the world. iPhones and iPod Touches are all over the place. You can set an Apple Touch Icon for your website just like you can set a favorite icon. So lets do it!
The XHTML
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"/>
The icon should be 57 pixels wide by 57 pixels tall.
Just like the favorite icon. Yet another creative detail to add to your site. Show people that you care about the details!

Be Heard!
Share your thoughts without being a jerk! And wrap your code in <code> tags, f00!
Good one to remember.
Also worth mentioning that the icon should be 57x57px
Good call George!
And what does this button do?
@Rick: There’s an option in iPhone/iPod Touch’s Safari that lets you place shortcuts to websites right on the main screen. This icon will be used in case someone does that for your site.
It reminds me of MSIE and they standardization :)
Thanks for the tip. I’ve just done it. But, instead of putting the PNG file in the root folder, I put in the themes folder and changed the href reference accordingly. Is this all right?
where do i put this xhtml code?
In the header like html does. Remeber the link code ends with />.
By the way it is also used in Opera’s Speed Dial.
But this doesn’t work for blogger mobile template but only for the web version. Ho can i put this also for the mobile version
