One caution: New Bookmarks you create may not appear right away because of a strange bug recently discovered in Netscape Navigator. Now you can easily see what’s what and go straight to where you want to go. Click OK, close Netscape, reopen it and, voila, your Bookmarks page comes up as your home page. Just click “Start With Home Page Location” and paste the Clipboard contents into the field. Now pull down the Options menu item at the top of the screen, click General Preferences and choose the Appearance tab.
(It’s the full path name of the Bookmark file.) Copy it to the Clipboard. Using your mouse, go up to the “Location” field and select the text there. Your bookmark entries will appear as familiar hot links, probably in underlined blue or red lettering. It resembles any other Web page, without the fancy graphics. To prove this, launch Netscape Navigator, hit Control O for Open File and click your way to the Netscape Navigator subdirectory, where you’ll see BOOKMARK.HTM. Moreover, Web pages needn’t be out in cyberspace in order for Netscape to view them pages on your very own hard drive work best of all. It means the file contains hypertext markup language, special text characters that serve as instructions understood by Web browsers. See, Netscape stores Bookmarks in a file called BOOKMARK.HTM in your Netscape subdirectory (or folder, depending on which operating system you’re using). My preference is to turn my Bookmark file into my default home page. One possibility is something like, if you often use the Yahoo index.
What’s New is a great way to quickly see what’s happening on your favorite sites without laboriously visiting each.Īnother useful tip for Netscape users is to change your default home page to something more useful than Netscape’s own home page, which you can always reach by clicking on the big white N in the upper right of the Netscape window.īefore I explain how to do this, let’s first decide what our default home page should be. Pull down File, click What’s New? and Netscape offers to check in with any or all of your Boomarked sites to see if they’ve changed since your last visit. If you just pull down Bookmarks and choose Go to Bookmarks (or just hit Control B), you’ll get a Bookmarks window. Some of the coolest things you can do with Netscape have to do with its Bookmarks feature.
(Like most of what I write, these are largely aimed at Windows users, though many of the tips will apply to Macintosh users too.) This week I’d like to share a few tips that make my life online a little easier using this powerful program. Netscape, as it’s called for short, rose to prominence because of its performance, and now a great many Web pages are optimized for it.īut many Netscape Navigator users aren’t fully aware of all the neat things it can do for you.
