Create your own Google Chrome Web App - usually a link to a web page

Tutorial: Getting Started - Chrome Web Store - Google Code
How To Create Your Own Chrome Web Apps | VikiTech.com

Using the two pages up above, I created a Google Chrome app to link to my blog here.  It is pretty simple, just follow the instructions.  Here are some things that I overlooked and might make it easier for you.  You will need to name the JSON file "manifest.json" using your notepad editor.  Also create a new folder in the beginning.

Here is the end result -  Download My Google Chrome App Drag the saved file over Chrome to Install.

Below is the code I used for my "manifest.json".
