The plugin comes with a collection of icons, such as the calendar icons used for posts in the images to the right, and you can even upload custom images to match your blog. I took a quick click over to Wordle.net<\/a> to create the icon used for this site.\u00c2\u00a0 I am sure that I will tweak that a bit in the future, but it was good to test the concept.<\/p>\n

In addition to adapting your site to work well with handheld screens, the plugin also allows users to create a desktop “App” link to your site.\u00c2\u00a0 This is where the icon I created using Wordle comes into play.\u00c2\u00a0 Readers can click the bookmark link in Safari on the iPhone and choose to “Add to Home Screen”.\u00c2\u00a0 An App link, using your custom icon, is then added to the reader’s smart phone desktop.<\/p>\n
