Beautify your iPhone/iPod touch with the Macenstein WebClip Bookmark Iconâ„¢!
Faithful Macenstein reader Kelly pointed out that we suck (not just in general for a change, but in a very specific way). Kelly wanted to know why we hadn’t made a custom Macenstein WebClip Bookmark icon for the iPhone/iPod touch. We couldn’t think of a good answer, so we decided to make one!
So be sure to bookmark us (again, since we assume we are already at the top of your iPhone’s home screen!) and enjoy our little Macenstein robot in all its rounded, glossy-squared goodness!
[Awww crap! Well, it didn’t work for some of you, but we THINK we fixed it. Let us know! Sorry!]
Looks awesome! Adding it to my phone right now.
It doesnt seem to work for me 🙁 I get an icon of what was on my screen
hey doc, my iphone doesn’t find
https://macenstein.com/apple-touch-icon.png so i’m stuck with crappy tiny screen shot, what gives?
j
The icon needs to be located in the exact directory you are bookmarking. Since your site redirects to /default/, the icon needs to be located in that directory and the meta tag changed to…
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”customIcon.png” />
OK, try it now, we think we got it going.
thanks everyone for your patience with our idiocy!

I cant figure out what to click on my iPhone to make it the full picture, or isolate it to make it the full screen. any help? thanks!
Brandon, you should see a “+” sign at the bottom of Safari on the iPhone.
Watch this (approx half way through)

Hmm, still not working Doc..
Well, heck, Chris, that sucks.
It seems to be working for almost everyone else, so at this point hopefully you can manage to live without it, or buy a new iPhone.

THERE we go! For some reason it wouldn’t work today when I tried it. Only diff was that I was on EDGE then and am on Wifi now… Shouldn’t matter.
BUT I have a SWEET icon now 🙂
Thanks
