NCSA Mosaic for the Macintosh User Guide: Customizing

Changing Your Home Page

By default, your home page is the NCSA Mosaic Home Page. You can easily change the home page to be any other World Wide Web document.

  1. Go to the document you want as your home page.
  2. Choose Use This Page for Home from the Options menu.

Creating a Local Home Page

You can also create a personalized home page on your local hard disk. When you use a local home page, NCSA Mosaic starts up more quickly because it takes less time to read in a document from your hard disk than to download a file from a server.

To create and set up a local home page:

  1. Create your home page. See A Beginner's Guide to HTML (HTML Help on the Balloon menu) for an introduction on creating HTML documents.
  2. Choose Open Local... from the File menu. Go through the standard File Open dialog box to get to your personal home page and open the document.
  3. Choose Use This Page for Home from the Options menu.
