Do you have your ministry website? An intranet? The default that came with your browser?
What’s the first thing that you see when you boot up the ol’ internet?
Love to hear them.
For me I’ve set it to “blank” in most of my browsers:
And here are my settings:
Boring, yes.

I like myfav.es. It’s simple and clean.
I do quite the opposite as you. I use my very busy iGoogle page which has gmail, google reader, weather, news, toodledo (to do list) and several other things on it. Would’ve never worked on dial-up, but pops up very quickly on broadband.
I use Chrome unless I have to use Firefox, so my home page is created by this extension:
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ncdfeghkpohnalmpblddmnppfooljekh
It’s pretty slick. I can post something to my calendar (Google) from the post it note (can be used for regular Gmail or apps). Recently closed tabs are listed in case I want to get back to those pages and any bookmarks I have in my bookmark toolbar.
Fav.org is my homepage…which has now become myfav.es
Icons for all my “first stop” sites which open up in a new tab when clicked.
I always did blank as well. But now that I have chrome I really like the 8 most common site icons.
I also use iGoogle so I can have a quick picture of my Reader, email, calendar, weather, Docs, etc.
In Chrome I use the default Top Sites, closed tabs page. Everything else is about:blank.
I currently use google’s homepage because it’s simple and loads quickly. when i used chrome, i loved the common sites
I use Chrome’s top sites, but really I never even click on them. I should just go blank, because I navigate via bookmark bar or Chrome’s search/url bar.
My home page is my email… might be boring, but it’s still where I like to start, especially when I first open my browser in the morning.
For the past week I’ve been using Google with SSL. https://www.google.com/
And I typically use some form of Google as my homepage.
I use http://myfav.es as my home page for Google Chrome.
I have the following pinned tabs on my chrome at work (my start pages)
Gmail
Facebook
Google Docs
Fellowship one
Hootsuite
Google calendar
churches webstie backend admin panel
So i guess that makes 7 homepages.
In Firefox, my blog – but that does not mean much because FF opens up to all the open pages I had before I closed it. One of the reasons why I love FF.
Safari: recently visited sites
Chrome: google.com
My default home page on the internet browser is blank!
ChurchIT.com What else? Used to be our website index page but I already know what’s there.
I have my online mailbox – yahoo, as my home page. I almost exclusively use Chrome. I just found out I can’t use Microsoft Office Live with it, though. Firefox would be my second choice.
I use Google Reader, I like knowing what’s going on first.
