How to Add an iPad Bookmark to Your Home Screen

Tablet PCs such as the iPad are a great tool for browsing the Web.

If you have a favorite webpage that you find yourself using on a daily basis, it's useful to have easy access to that Web page without having to first launch Safari and then access your bookmark through Safari. Putting a direct bookmark to the Web page on the home screen solves this problem, and fortunately, the iPad provides a way for you to do this.

Instructions

1. Start your iPad and launch Safari.

2. Navigate to the Web page that you want to bookmark to your home screen.

3. Tap the action button, which is next to the URL and is a box with an arrow coming out of it. On older versions of iOS, the action button is shaped like a plus sign.

4. Tap “Add to Home Screen” on the menu that comes up.

5. Edit the name to whatever you want the bookmark name to appear as on your home screen.

6. Tap “Add.” A bookmark to the webpage should now be on your home screen.
