I've just changed mine to http://www.internet.com

What's yours? :)

http://www.email.com

Don't know why; I don't really use that service anymore since they changed it. Maybe I should change my home page to something else??

Heh..

I was just curious to see what others had their homepage set at. I'm interested in changing mine again, just not sure what it should be next. :)

My homepage hasn't changed during the past year (well, except for the times when those stupid websites change it without asking)

Nothing but slashdot!

about:blank Not too different; if you read the old threads that was probably the single most common answer.

And it's mine too. I like fast-loading pages, and there are none faster.

about:blank too.

(Some years back I used to make a page containing big image links to some of my favourite sites and uploaded it and made it homepage. One 'feature' is a link where I click to open them all in different windows)

Hmm... Looks like I'm the only one with http://localhost. I used to have a page that has links to every site I visit, and shows news snippets from several news sites, but changed it to localhost which is my testing and development site.

On any other computer I use, its about:blank

i like to have it at about: blank

but, you see, sometimes, there are certain pages i need to remember, or need to check often, so i set those as my home page.

Like the post above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After i finished writing that, my browser took me to this url:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=382022#post382022

So what i did, was set http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=382022#post382022 to my home page

so when i open it up, it takes me STRAIGHT to my post -- and then i can see if anyone replied or not

:P
anyone ever do the same thing
