I added what is called a web icon to a website but I have no way to test it.
It supposedly acts like a favicon but it puts the website logo iPad or iPhone homescreen.
This is what I see, sorry for the very poor quality, I took the pic with an old tablet so you could see what I'm seeing. This was on my iPhone 4
that isn't exactly what I was looking for. see the logo in the top left. I think if you save it as a bookmark or whatever it is you do on an ipad it should put that icon on the phone screen
Phew, that took a while, trying to figure out how to add a bookmark then choose "add to home screen"! I now have your head icon on my home screen!
The link is http://hypthinking.com/ and what I need to know is if the logo shows up on your phone as a web icon
What you mean "logo"? You can open easy http://hypthinking.com/ , But I can not touch read more or answer option by touching screen, what is ordinary operation for iP6.
It is a logo that will show up on your iPad homescreen if you save it as a bookmark I think. The logo is the blue picture of the head in the upper left hand corner

Do you have an ipad or iphone and would be willing to test?

I have been asked about setting up when a person clicks on a phone number, let's just say 555-111-1111 for instance in the US from a phone, it will automatically dial the number
If you are running a telco enabled device, (One with a SIM card, connected to a phone service provider) you should be able to just click on a phone number and have it dial for you.
The way to do this is to edit the A-HREF tag by putting "tel:5551111111" where the address normally goes - See attached image.
so you could have the 'a' tag (3rd line in image) followed by somkething like - Call 555-111-1111 for more - followed by the closing 'a' tag (5th line). Then when someone taps on the hyperlink, - Call 555-111-1111 - it will dial that number for you.
(BTW, class="buttonclick" is a CSS style that encloses the "Tap To Call" in a brown box with rounded corners and class="icon-phone-sign" is the little phone icon next to the "Tap to Call". These styles were written into my CSS file)
Some themes have shortcodes to do this, such as the themes from Thrive Themes.
There is a also WP plugin, which is also useful if you want to link a graphic instead of the actual number:

Here's an article about how to do it manually: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-clickable-phone-numbers-for-smartphones-in-wordpress/
I'm sure other options exist, but this is a starting point.
If you're putting it in a menu, use a link menu option and put this in there:
tel:5551111111
If you're putting the number in the html of a page, then it would look like:
555-111-1111
These also work great if the person browsing the site is on a computer and has Skype open.
That's it. Hope that was helpful!
It really isn't in a menu. It is part of a widget so I am going to have to figure something else out. The widget in the spot where the phone number is now, doesn't allow for html.
Thanks for the response.
Ah, I see the html was stripped from my response. I've attached a screenshot showing how you'll add it to a widget. Ugh...WA says screenshot is too small. Can't win here, lol. Okay, think I got you now. This screenshot should be large enough. Cheers!
