Create an image link to Hubpages on your Chrome Browser

If you are an active writer on Hubpages then you will probably need to visit this site every day or even every hours to create a new hub or read your own hub traffic statistic. Therefore it will be really nice if you can create a link with a clickable icon to the main page of Hubpages so you can just visit this site with a single click on that icon. This tutorial will show you how to do that if you are using Chrome as your web browser right now. Chrome is very popular among American, European and Asian user therefore I believe you already have one on your desktop, if not then you can download it at the chrome official website. You will need to have a chrome browser first before using this application.

What we plan to do here is really simple, create an application which will link us to the main page of Hubpages. When we click on the application's icon on our browser, we will land on the main page of Hubpages. This will indeed save us lots of time takes to look under bookmark items for the link to Hubpages!

Alright, lets get started, first create a new folder somewhere in your computer hard drive. Then create a 128 x 128 image to use as the launch icon on chrome browser and save it in png format under that new folder. Create a manifest file with details shown below and save it as manifest.json within the same folder, nothing much need to be changed here, just change the name of the image from logo.png to whatever the name you are using for your new 128 x 128 png image.

Finally is to install the application on your chrome browser. The steps are as follow :

1. Click on the wrench icon to open a pop up panel as shown in the second image on this hub.
2. Choose the Tools tab, then on the panel which pops up on the left of the main panel, choose the Extensions tab to open up the Extensions panel.
3. Then click on the Load unpacked extension tab as shown in the third image on this hub and look for the folder you have just created then click 'ok' once you have located that folder.
4. You do not need to pack the application if you don't want to, all you need is to install the application on your chrome browser so just ignore the Pack extensions tab. Now you will see a new icon appears on your chrome browser as shown in the first image when you relaunch the browser.

Each time you click on that icon, you will get directed to Hubpages as you wish to.
