iCon: Forget macBook Air - web clip icons are where it’s at. Simple things like this make me happy. They are so easy to set up (forget favicon nightmares) - even on sites like tumblr (which hosts this site) just create a 57x57 png file called apple-touch-icon.png, and put it in your root directory. Note - the iPhone/iPod adds the rounded edges and the shimmer effect, though adding your own gradient as well is nice.
the tumblr method is to put the link code found here
in your custom HTML.
