Netscape 7.2 for Windows

Home Page

The home page is the web page that appears in the Netscape browser window when you first open Netscape and when you click the Home button located near the top of the Netscape window. You can set the home page to any web page you like. To set your home page to the main University of Virginia home page, while in Netscape, click Edit, Preferences; a Preferences window appears. In the Preferences window, select Navigator from the Category list, and under the Home Page section, enter into the Location: field the web page address http://www.virginia.edu, and click OK.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks refers to Web sites you want to remember. In the process of exploring the Web, you will undoubtedly come upon Web sites that you'd like to revisit. You could carefully write down the site information in the URL field at the top of the Netscape window and manually reenter it the next time you wish to visit that site, OR you could use the menu command Bookmark This Page, which is found under the Bookmarks menu, to save this site information in your own personal "Bookmark list".

Using this option, the next time you want to visit one of your favorite Web sites, you can use the mouse to select that site from the Bookmarks menu and Netscape will automatically make that connection.
