1111. ScottLoar - 2/6/2000 9:08:53 AM Lucky, where's your poetry? You always give a good beginning, promising more then... the end comes much too soon. 1112. Lucky - 2/6/2000 9:16:23 AM Heh. The story of my life, I guess. Howdy, Scott. 1113. dusty - 2/6/2000 10:25:17 AM hashke
When I looked at the help that others were trying to give you, they seemed to be talking about wallpaper, which refers to the picture on the screen when you boot up.
But you are referring to homepage, which is the location in the window of a browser when you first fire it up.
I'el assume you mean the second, but you can clarify if my assumption is wrong.
If I am right I need to know whether you are running IE or Netscape. (If something else, I can't help) 1114. dusty - 2/6/2000 10:31:09 AM I'll start by assuming IE.
If IE, look on the menu bar and click on Tools.
This brings up a menu, at the bottom is Internet Options. Click on it.
Usually, the panel shown is labeled General, if it isn't look for General and click on it.
At the top, is a Box labeled Home Page. I'm guessing you will recognize the url in the box as the elephant URL. Change it to whatever you like.
I just realized my instructions may be specific to IE 5.0
If you are running IE 4.0, the locations may be slightly different, but you may be able to follow them.
Now I'll look at Netscape, just in case that is what you have. 1115. dusty - 2/6/2000 10:38:39 AM
The following applies to Netscape 4.6 (although probably to other versions as well)
First thing you should do is go to the page you want to use as your home page (The reason will be clear later.)
On the top menu bar, look for Edit. Click on it, opening a menu.
At the bottom is Preferences. Click on it.
This will open up a box with a number of choices in a box along the left. One of those choices should be Navigator. Click on it.
Now you should see radio buttons giving you a choice as to how you startup screen will look. The choices are:
- Blank screen
- Home page
- Last Page visited
I selected Last Page Visited, but you want Home page. In the next section below it probably has the elephant url, but, in any event, you can type in the location you want for your home page, or easier, if you go there first, you can click on Use Current Page
Did this work, or am I misunderstanding your problem?1116. Dusty - 2/8/2000 12:19:58 AM Hashke - is your problem solved? 1117. PelleNilsson - 2/8/2000 6:02:27 AM Does anyone know where to find William Safire's language columns? I have searched but failed to come up with anything. 1118. Dusty - 2/8/2000 6:25:32 AM Here is one
safire 1119. Dusty - 2/8/2000 6:34:33 AM Pelle, I went to archives on the NYT web site, did a search on "safire AND language" and got a number of hits. Unfortunately, there is a 2.50 charge for each article, other than very recent ones. 1120. PelleNilsson - 2/8/2000 7:28:43 AM Dusty
Thanks. You found the one I was looking for. The NYT policy of charging for archived articles is, I think, a misguided business idea thought up by accountants. 1121. dusty - 2/8/2000 9:26:20 AM PelleNilsson
Especially at that price. The marginal cost to them is under a penny, but they want more than the cost of the entire Sunday edition.
If you must charge, work out some kind of ecash and charge a dime.
1122. hashke - 2/8/2000 10:56:54 AM Dusty:
The elephants feats are still there when I open, but I have not worked on it. No problem, though.
I am having problems with posting now in other threads here. Is themote about to falter? 1123. hashke - 2/8/2000 11:01:35 AM Thanks, Dusty. The above note may seem strange. That's because I got only #1116 on first read and not your more immediately previous and more detailed instructions.
When I boot up I get the elephant and the icons, including IE icon. When I hit that everything works fine.
Let me work on your instructions when I have some time. 1124. Candide - 2/8/2000 11:41:47 AM Pelle
William Safire is a regular op ed writer in the "New York Times" If you look there, each regular columnist has an anthology and a biography. It's not hard to find. 1125. Dusty - 2/9/2000 12:02:50 AM Candide
Yes, and they have a page with links to his political columns. His columns on language are a bit harder to find, but if you have a decent source, please share it. 1126. Dusty - 2/9/2000 12:04:47 AM hashke
I'm not having a problem posting to other threads. What kind of problems are you having?
Let me know if my posts above do not solve your huge problem. I'll be happy to work on alternative elephant removal options. (Hmmm, perhaps a mouse would help?) 1127.
