Bookmarking and Setting the Community Psychology Network as Your Homepage

This guide provides instructions on how to bookmark the Community Psychology Network website and set it as your default homepage in older versions of Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Bookmarking allows you to save the website’s address for quick access, while setting it as your homepage makes it the first page you see when you open your browser.

Understanding Bookmarks and Homepages

Bookmarks (or Favorites in Internet Explorer) are shortcuts to specific web pages. Instead of typing the full web address (URL) each time, you can simply click on the bookmark to visit the page. Setting a default homepage is another convenient way to quickly access a frequently visited site. Unlike bookmarks, you can only have one default homepage.
