Checking out our favorite websites have become part of our daily routines, like taking out the trash or checking the mail (physical or electronic). Windows 8 allows you to pin your favorite sites to its Start Screen, giving each its own tile which serves as a shortcut directly to the web page.
To create tiles for your favorite sites in Windows 8:
- Navigate to a page that you want to create a tile for.
- Right-click or swipe up to open the App Bar.
- Click Pin site.
- Click Pin to Start.
- Click the Pin to Start button to create the tile.

how do you change the icon for the pinned website?

Sorry, I need more help on this. The only way I know to navigate to a web site is via Chrome (didn’t try I.E.). I tried launching Chrome both for desktop and for Metro, but in both cases swiping up from the bottom of the screen did nothing. I tried right clicking in several places (it was never specified where to right click), but nothing happened except the usual Chrome context selections.
Where am I going wrong? Obviously I couldn’t even try to do any of the subsequent steps.
