It’s Good to Know: Setting Up Multiple Homepages

When you fire up your Internet browser, there are probably a few sites you always visit before you do anything else. So why not set all those sites as homepages? With tabbed browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer 7, you can.

In Firefox, go to the Tools menu and choose Options. Then go to the General or Main tab (depending on the version you have). In the Locations box, put the address of each website you want as a homepage, separated by a "pipe" ( | ). (The pipe symbol is right above the Enter key on most computers.)

With Internet Explorer 7, go to the Tools menu and choose Options. Then, in the General tab, enter each Web address on a separate line.

These multiple homepages should not, of course, include news sites, YouTube, your MySpace page, or any other time wasters. Restrict them to sites you use throughout the day for work: Web-based e-mail and other applications, your company’s online archives, or reference sites you use for research and other tasks.
