To make accessing your favorite websites even faster, you can store a website as an icon on your Home screen. To do so, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Safari. The Safari screen appears.
Visit your favorite website.
Tap the Add Bookmark icon (it looks like a plus sign). A menu of options appears.
Tap Add to Home Screen. An Add to Home window and a virtual keyboard appear, as shown in Figure 14-7.
Type or edit a short descriptive name for your website.
Tap Add. Your chosen website appears as an icon on your Home screen.
Note
You can delete a bookmarked icon from your Home screen just like an application: Hold your fingertip on the website icon until it starts jiggling and displays a Close icon in its upper-left corner. Then tap the Close icon (it looks like a big X), and press the Home button.
