1. Click the Options menu and select general preferences.
2. Select the appearances tab.
3. In the area marked Startup, enter the address of the website you would like Netscape to go to upon start up of web browser.

   

If you know the URL (or address) of a new Web Page that you would like to visit, the easiest way to go there is by simply typing in the address into the "Location" field.

1. Click your mouse in the "Location" bar.
2. Type in the address of the Web Page you would like to visit (i.e. www.iwaynet.net) and press your "Enter" or "Return" key.

The History is a nice feature that stores every URL you visit (up to the number of days you have specified in preferences) for quick access. It also remembers the URLs so if you type an address that you've already visited it will automatically finish the address after entering a few letters of the URL. The History is easily accessible under the Navigator Menu Bar.

So, now that you have browsed the web and found some great informational sites, how can you get back to them without having to type in the address each time? Netscape uses Bookmarks which are easy to use and navigate.

1. If your viewing a Web Page that you will want to return to in the future, click on the Bookmarks menu and select Add Bookmark.



2. To return to a Web Page that you have bookmarked, click on the Bookmarks menu and select the name of the Web Page from the list of all the bookmarks that you've made.
