Home Screen Photo Link

Want of photo of your loved one(s) on your Home screen? (It makes them think you care.) If you have Web space you can create a Web clip for your desktop that turns the image into a thumbnail.

  • Copy the image to your Web space
  • Open it in Safari
  • Tap +
  • Tap Add to Home Screen
Now when you tap the icon of your loved one on your Home screen it will call up the full image in Safari. One caveat: if the site already has it's own Web icon, like some photo sites, you may get theirs instead of the screenshot of your image. A personal Web space, like .Mac, will only have a Web clip icon if you've installed it yourself.

You can also create a custom icon for of any image in your .Mac Web gallery. Just go to the photo on your iPhone and add it to your Home screen. When you tap the icon you'll be taken to that specific image in your gallery.


If you're on Vista you'll find the few posts that are Maccentric marked with  at the end of the title so you can easily skip them. If anyone would like to contribute Vista or Linux methods, click my name below and email me the precise steps.
