Bernhard et al,

Thanks for the reply. You bring up good points about being clear as to what
the icon does. It would appear that the icons would be available only from
the documentation blog. That should let the user know the icons link to the
documentation blog only.

The requirements are for two images, one a cover image and one that as
described, sounds like a splash screen. I quote from the wordpress.com iPad
OnSwype section of the settings for the documentation blog,
*
"Cover Logo -For best results use a 200×200px transparent PNG

Launch Screen Image

Readers can add your site to their iPad’s home screen for quick access from
an app-like icon.

The launch screen image is briefly displayed after your site is opened from
an iPad home screen icon, before the cover image appears.

Use a PNG exactly 768×1004px "*

There is an option to use a cover image or not. (This would display a recent
post from the blog)  What do you think? Is this do-able?
