  Setting a Home Page
  The first page you see when you start Netscape Navigator or Communicator is called the home page. Your home page is probably Netscape's home page, your Internet service provider's home page, or your company's home page. You can choose any page on the web to use as your home page, and we encourage you to use Netscape Netcenter (http://home.netscape.com) as your point of departure.

  You Try It: Set Up a New Home Page.

  • Go to the page you want to use as your home page.

  • From the Navigator menu bar, select Edit, Preferences. The Preferences dialog box will appear.

  • In the Preferences dialog box click Navigator in the Category list. That panel will move to the front.

  • In the Navigator panel, click the Use Current Page button to set the page you just visited as the home page. or

    Type (or paste) the page's URL into the Home Page Location text box.

    1. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.

    2. Click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to load your new home page.

      Tips for New Users
     
  • Tip: You can always get to Netcenter by clicking the big N icon in the upper right corner of the Navigator window.

  • Tip: You can visit your home page whenever you want by clicking the Home button on the Navigation toolbar or by pressing Ctrl+Home (Command+Home on the Mac).
     
  •   FYI
      The home page you set in Navigator is one kind of home page. A page on the web that's your central home in cyberspace is another kind of home page - it can be a custom page like My Netscape, or a page you make yourself using Netscape Composer.
