Comment:

 I'd like to see things taken one step farther. If you could find a 260X260
 or 300X300 version of the image currently used for the Favicon, you could
 use it on http://realfavicongenerator.net/ and generate cross-platform
 favicon images. But that generator takes things a step further and creates
 images to use as a Windows 8 Tile or on the iOS Homescreen.

 Unfortunately, at the end of the generator you need to upload all the
 images to the root of the site and then place code into the header.php
 file of the theme to reference those images. However, as illustrated by
 Chip Bennett, this can be overcome with a functionality plugin.

 favicon#comment-51657

 If I add WordPress.org to my iPhone homescreen, this is what it looks
 like.

 It's ok but could look a lot better.
