When you fire up your browser what comes up?
When I open up Firefox I have several homepages on different tabs
- http://mail.google.com/hosted/tidget.com/
- http://webmaster-forums.net
- http://seobook.com
- http://searchenginejournal.com
Now that I think about it, I could have RSS feeds for all those and not have to have them as my homepages.

Is also very good for when you're bored, you can just stare at it for hours and see new things :roll eyes:
<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me
"); } ?>

MySpace and Facebook. Childish maybe, but it is. With MySpace, I really like to see how the account for my radio show is coming along.

Boringly: Whatever tabs I was viewing when I last shut the browser down.
*** EDIT ***
about:blank must be the only truly cross-browser compatible web page on the net. It's future-proofed as well

I load my own page from my hard drive that contains all of my frequent links. The e-mail link contains mailto: so that my e-mail client will launch.

Yeah, I used to do what Roo does - make my own homepage - but I got lazy and now I just use about:blank

At work I have http://www.uwaterloo.ca - that's the university I work for. Good as a start-off point for searches or to find other information, and I read the Daily Bulletin every day.
At home - about: blank. I wish I could just have no home page on Opera since I usually read mail first anyway. I don't like setting forums as a home page because I don't like to acidentally go there and log in when I don't want to. That means that I need to read what's new before everything gets marked read.... of course we could fix that here by switching to the database-based read marking system. Not sure if I like that or not...

Boring: google
Used to use my own page but also got lazy. Was tempted to write a new one integrated with delicious, but again was too lazy.
Anyone seeing a pattern forming?

Out of interest - why not? I always find this a great imrovement (except it encourages you to read more threads)

Mine is about:blank too. I just never know where I might want to go when I start, so I don't want to wait for a page to load (although it only takes like a second on my computer
)

I have a custom start page as well. It's actually located on one of the domains I own, but it's password protected. That way I can access my favorite bookmarks anywhere. And I can also add to them and jot down notes to myself on the page.

I use http://mail.google.com on FireFox. It's a locked tab, so I can't ever close it. When I restart the browser, even after crash, it loads all the previous pages and Gmail is still closed. Yes, FireFox.
Each day I open google.com/ig (Google's personalized home page), but I wouldn't consider it my homepage.

I quite like the idea of creating my own home page which is password protected on my Site. I might try that and see. Currently though, my homepage is MSN UK - not for any particular reason though.

I have myway.com which is great for me. All my links are on "my page" and I can see that anywhere, from any computer. I also have them in my favorites in case I'm bored with it and want about: blank again.
