Add shortcut to home screen

[Scott216]

I have a Nexus 5 with KitKat. How do I add a homescreen shortcut to a website? I switched from an iphone and this was pretty easy but I can't figure it out on kitkat. I found a couple pre-kitkat examples showing how to do this, but they don't work for kitkat.

Long press on the Homecreen -> select Widgets -> Bookmark -> select page to add

if you happen to be using Chrome, go to the web site, then click the menu button and select "add to homescreen'

I don't see that option in the Chrome menu. We probably have different versions. I tried the Widget > Bookmark method suggested and that worked.

go to book marks press and hold you should then see option to add to home screen.
