knit247 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 From a quick search, it looks like this hasn't been asked since 2008 - maybe b/c no one gives a flip :tongue_smilie: Anyhow, to what site is your current homepage set? I just switched from Safari to FF and can't figure out what page I want for my start page. Hopefully I'll discover some new ones by asking here.

Pippen Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 http://news.yahoo.com/ We like a news site for our homepage on our family computer, and at one point CNN was taking too long to load so I went in search of a news page that would load fast and yahoo news won out.

knit247 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Would still love to hear responses, but it just hit me what I am going to use: Toodledo! I have an insane number of To-Do items - everything from daily errands to every-six-months household chores. But one of my problems is that I forget to check it, or check it too late in the day. Now it will be the 1st thing I see each morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peela Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 google but I have "stuff" on my google page, like local weather, and news headlines- at different times I have different "stuff" on my google homepage because there is a lot of "stuff" to choose from. Photographs, horoscopes, a to do list, sayings of the day, word of the day etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Anyhow, to what site is your current homepage set? I just switched from Safari to FF and can't figure out what page I want for my start page. Hopefully I'll discover some new ones by asking here. Mine is set to Fox News. There was a conversation, years ago now, something about who knows and who doesn't know what is going on in the world. I wasn't watching the news on TV b/c there was so much I found distasteful for my then 6 or 7 yo ds to be watching. I don't read the paper. It's one of those things that just got pitched so now we just get the Sat and Sun paper - for the ads mostly. :tongue_smilie: I get local news via email from a local station. I get the headlines and links to the whole article. But national/international news I wasn't getting. So I switched my homepage to Foxnews. Again, it's just headlines but I do read them and notice when it's different from last time. I can click on a link to read more about it. But at least I now feel a little informed about what is going on out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Speed Dial. It consists of a bunch of screen shots (almost the size of this text box- when you're first starting out typing a message in it, not viewing it after the fact) of any of my "favorites" that I want to set in there. So, like, I have my email, my meetup group, this site, my blog, my library's site, netflix, my bank, the weather, facebook, and so on. When I go to my homepage, all of those are displayed in boxes and I can click on any one of them and it takes me right to whichever one I clicked on. I'll include a picture of a snapshot of the screen so you can see what I mean. It's pretty cool. :) (I will only be leaving the picture up for a little while). (It does have a google search bar at the top and it's through Mozilla Firefox). Edited April 6, 2011 by NanceXToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I also have a Wikipedia search box in case I need some info in a hurry. I can skim that and then do a Google search if I want to go more in-depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Mine is about:blank. It keeps the toddlers from sending emails or web browsing. The older child has figured out how to click on the "blue and orange ball". :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I use iGoogle as my firefox homepage. Has all my email, news, weather, facebook, google reader updates, photos etc in one place ready to go I didn't realize there was a facebook gadget, so I went to add it after reading your post.
