You can turn a part of a Web page into one of these Web clips, too. You might want
quick access to the New York Times “most emailed” list, or the bestselling children’s
books on Amazon, or the most-viewed video on YouTube, or the box scores for a
certain sports league.
All you have to do is zoom and scroll the page in Safari before you tap the +
button, isolating the section you want. Later, when you open the Web clip, you’ll
see exactly the part of the Web page you wanted.
Start by opening the page in question.
Now tap the ± button at the bottom of the screen. In the button list, tap
Add to Home Screen. Now you’re offered the chance to edit the icon’s name;
finally, tap Add.
When you return to your Home screen, you’ll see the new icon. You can move
it around, drag it to a different Home screen, and so on, exactly as described
on page 30.
Or, to delete it, touch its icon until all the Home icons begin to wiggle. Tap the
Web clip’s X badge (facing page, right) to remove its icon.
The History List
Behind the scenes, Safari keeps track of the Web sites you’ve visited in the last
week or so, neatly organized into subfolders like Earlier Today and Yesterday.
It’s a great feature when you can’t recall the address for a Web site that you visited
recently—or when you remember that it had a long, complicated address
and you get the psychiatric condition known as iPhone Keyboard Dread.
To see the list of recent sites, tap the } button, and then tap the History
folder, whose icon bears a little clock to make sure you know that it’s special.
Once the History list appears, just tap a bookmark (or a folder name and then
a bookmark) to revisit that Web page.
Erasing the History List
Some people find it creepy that Safari maintains a complete list of every Web
site they’ve seen recently, right there in plain view of any family member or
coworker who wanders by. They’d just as soon their wife/husband/boss/
parent/kid not know what Web sites they’ve been visiting.
