The Essential Start Page

Tired of MSN, about:blank or Google as your home page?

I created a great solution that people seem to like. It's like a quick bookmark page, because my browser's bookmarks are always so disorganized and excessive. These links are just the essentials. This little guy clocks in at less than 4 kilobytes…. so no loading time! Plus, you don't have to access someone else's website! This is also a great first learning tool on HTML coding, and no experience is really required. Simply change the HREF= web addresses to your interests. There's also weather radars!

I intentionally left out much of the normal HTML web-code for speed and user-friendly purposes.

Simply copy and paste this code into Notepad, and save to C:\ drive. My copy is called C:\home.htm. How to set the home page in Firefox and IE.

An online copy is currently here: http://www.steveprutz.com/bhome.htm
