Touch Icons

Ok, maybe this is a silly entry... but apparently, this is a feature that some people are very passionate about: The apple touch icon.

Well, I just got working on a website, Luci's Family Child Care, and decided that I'd need an apple touch icon so iPod and iPhone users can save it on their home screens.

I started out just pasting the link into page.tpl.php, as probably many other Drupal developers do too, but then just wondered if not such a module maybe already exists... and it does: Touch Icons. The Touch Icons module allows site administrators and themers to specify icons for use as Web Clip bookmarks on the homescreen of an iPhone or iPod Touch.

It was exactly what I needed!
