Is BCUK your homepage?

[JonnyP]

Bbc homepage for me, like to see the news in general and an outlook on the weather for my area, also radio 2 is there if I fancy some music.....

Google here aswell, but BCUK is usually checked within about 20 mins after opening a browser.

This "about:blank" business - I'm intrigued. Is it just so that a 'camera ready' internet
page opens virtually instantly into which you can type or copy your URL of interest?

I just typed a:b into a spare window and instantly got a nice blank page. Having said
that I pretty much do always want Google as my first port of call so am not planning to
change anything but just wondered what the blank page was for, and if I've hit on the
reason by accident

Yep. That's pretty much it. In Internet explorer it's an option in INTERNET OPTIONS. If you don't select a homepage it inserts about:blank and the blank screen comes up almost instantly ready to be directed wherever you may please

I'm afraid I'm boring too. Google, then e-mails the here, every time

Nope, New Scientist is mine.
Basically its science described in laymans terms, I get a brief overview of all sorts of things from it as some other science pages are too narrow focussed for me to really care about.

mine is a self authored menu page.it gives me access to google,wikipedia,dictionary.com and download.com from the same page with various links scattered around in sections around the form bars (news.bbc,here,dilbert etc).it has the advantage of everything together where I want it and because its held on my pc it loads instantly.

Edited to add : bee sea you kay

 

[Bushcraft4life]

Google, emails and then here, then gooner news to check on the arsenal

 

[Sgt Sim]

I need something that do not contain archaeology in my life.... This is defenetly my home page!

 

[rik_uk3]

Yahoo and a few favourites via Firefox, this site, stove site, BBC, veoh.com and New scientist

 

[Robby]

I have my isp providers standard home page but it never stays for long, Bee See You Kay is usually the first thing I check then email and then some general surfing. Most of my time on the internet is spent in here though.

 

[Aliwren]

Used to be but as I am having to re- log in practically everytime I visit I changed
It is still the second/third site I usually visit though depending on time

 

[Bogman10]

Voted yes, but it is only my home page on my Fox Fire browser , my Explorer's Home page is one with local content ( news,weather,movie listings etc....). Best of both for me!!

 

[al21]

I voted no. My browser, IceWeasel, is set to open my bookmark.html file. Which combined with 'Find as you type' allows me to go straight to any page I like. Ctrl-<enter> opens the selected link in a new tab and use Alt-[1-0] to jump to the appropriate tab. There is a search facility at the top right which is usually on Google, but also allows me to directly search Wikipedia, Amazon or almost anything I care to add. IceWeasel is virtually the same as Firefox, so the way I use it will work for Firefox users. Keywords are good too. Ctrl-l jumps to the address bar and I key bcf to open the BCUK forum page.

So, while I regularly read these pages, it's only ever a few key strokes away so making it my homepage is unnecessary.

[JohnL]

No, mine is yahoo.

 

[andy_e]

No, but it's usually the second site I visit after reading my web-mail.

 

[bushyboo]

google is my homepage but bcuk is first on my favorites

 

[maddave]

nope - google is my homepage but then BCUK is the first site I load, swiftly followed by BB - they then sit minimised (or are viewed) for the rest of my session

Wot he said !!

 

[lottie.lou]

Google homepage but BCUK is one of my tabs

 

[Big Bad Stu]

Yes it is, I am seeking help for this addiction.
