Have More Than One Homepage

Clicking on your internet icon be it Internet Explorer of Firefox or another browser of your choice takes you to your homepage. But have you ever wanted to have more than one homepage? So that when you open your browser a group of pages open up instead of just one? YES it is possible to have more than one homepage!

Internet Explorer

Assigning more than one home page in Internet Explorer is simplicity itself.

Here is what you do:

• Open Internet Explorer
• Click on the little gear icon (upper right side)
• Choose the Internet Options menu item
• On the General Tab type a url for each homepage you want in the Homepage Textbox. After typing the first address just hit the Enter key and the curser will be moved to the next line where you can type in another website address.

Firefox

The steps for adding additional homepages to Firefox are just as easy but a little different.

Steps to take:

• Open Firefox
• Choose Options from the Tools menu
• On the General Tab in the Homepage: Textbox type in each url that you want and seperate them with the pipe symbol "|" (or Shift + \). Do not leave any spaces between the addresses you enter

That's all there is to it!

Now when you open your favorite Browser multiple homepages will load. By entering in your most used sites or your favorite sites a group of tabs will open that will let you get right to work. This is a neat little trick that can increase your productivity.

Never again be confined to a single site when you start to browse the net.
