I have read the instructions: http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … reen-icon/

Problem:
I am unclear what to do between making the icon and placing the HTML on the website.
    Do I upload the newly made icon to the website? If yes, where do I upload it?
    Do I rename the icon?
    Do I place the image on my website with a link?

Please direct me. Thank you!
Love those Nikon's!

Place the linking code that they provide you in the head of the pages you want users to be able to set an icon for.
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/images/ios/apple-touch-icon-iphone.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/images/ios/apple-touch-icon-ipad.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/images/ios/apple-touch-icon-iphone4.png" />
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/images/ios/apple-touch-icon-ipad3.png" />

Don't rename or alter the images. Up load them to your website and make sure their in the location that the code points to.
For me I have them in a folder called images/ios/
If you needed to you could actually make different images for unique areas of your site and adjust the linking code and the image names accordingly.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Perhaps one of the powers that be out there can do an addendum (or just add it that is lol) to that article to reflect the rest of the process above for adding it? :)

**EDITED BY SELF LOL**

Either they already had it there and you didn't see it, or they added it after you posted this, not sure which, but it does look like there are instructions for adding it to the page already in place. :)

Hi Jo Ann- for me the instructions were not clear enough. With Eric's additional instructions, I was able to complete the task. Thanks again Eric! I would close this comment if I knew how- problem solved!
