Ok, many of you iPhone pros may already know this trick. But one of my friends just showed me how to create a Gimme Some Oven app icon on my iPhone, and I had to share it with you!!

Basically, it is just a simple way to create an icon on your homepage for any website (or, um, food blog) that you love. So instead of having to open a browser like Safari or Chrome, you can go straight to the source. Brilliant!

Here’s the quick how-to…

Clearly, you can see that I had a bit of an email and voicemail buildup today. Oh the joys of taking the afternoon off to get a haircut. :)

Hope this little tutorial might be a help to you!

I would also recommend adding apps for our new Gimme Some pages:

    Yes, I love this trick. I was hoping this was a tutorial on how to make an app for others to download. I guess that’s much more complicated though. :)
