Have a Website? It’s Time to Add a WebClip Icon

February 5, 2008 | Posted in General Web Design | 35 Comments »

WebClip Icons are strictly for iPhone & iPod Touch users, but since they are quite the popular little devices, website owners might want to think about adding a WebClip icon soon. A WebClip icon is the icon that the iPhone/iPod Touch uses if a user adds your site to their (now customizable) homescreen/s. I would expect that most people who would bookmark BittBox on the iPhone would just read the RSS feed, but as a site owner, I don’t want to leave anything to chance. I want my icon to look the way I want it to look, and not rely on the iPhone to do it for me. Think of it as a really big favicon.

January 18, 2008 | Posted in News | 24 Comments »

Thank you all for rolling out for the Box’s 1st Birthday contest. With over 1500 people involved, the odds weren’t in anyone’s favor, but every contest has a winner. Congratulations to Philip J., of Southern California! He was the lucky winner of the iPhone, and he so graciously sent me the image below. (ok, I asked him to). And congratulations to Sean Farrell, of Canada. He was the winner of the GoMedia vector pack! Thanks to everyone for participating, and I’m going to try and make the prizes even better next year (and more of ‘em).
