Did you know that your Yahoo! Homepage can be customized with your favorite Yahoo! services and links so that they are easy to access with one click?!
Yahoo! Homepage was updated to help customer's like you retain access to the wealth of information available on the Yahoo! Homepage- while also customizing it a bit to offer you the sites you want to see!
How do you do it you ask?
First thing- make sure you are signed in with your Yahoo! ID. This is important to ensure any custom changes you make are saved to your personal account and view. This way, anytime you 'Sign In' on the Yahoo! Frontpage, you can see your new customized view. Once you’re signed in, check out the steps below to customize your information:
*How to add services to your Yahoo! Sites list*
1. Click the gear-shaped icon to the right of the Yahoo! Sites header.
2. From the options that populate, click on the plus sign next to the Yahoo! Service you want to add.
3. Once selected, you will see that the option is added to your list on the left.
Note: To delete or remove a service on your Yahoo! Sites list, after clicking on the gear-shaped icon, simply click on the ‘X’ that corresponds with the service you wish to remove and it will be taken off of your list.
*How to update sites on your Favorites list (located just beneath the Yahoo! Sites list)*
1. Click the gear-shaped icon to the right of the Favorites header.
2. Where it says 'Enter a URL' in the first box, enter the site address information (For example: ‘www.yahoo.com’).
3. In the second box where it says ‘Give it a name’, enter the name you would like to have listed for that site in your favorites list (For example: Yahoo).
4. Once both boxes have been filled with the desired information, click Add and you will see the name you selected populate on your Favorites list.
Note: To delete or remove a service on your Favorites list, after clicking on the gear-shaped icon, simply click on the ‘X’ that corresponds with the sight you wish to remove and it will be taken off of your list.
Lastly, if you want to Reorder the position of entries (to keep your favorites at the top of course) it’s easy! Just do the following:
1. Click the gear-shaped icon to the right of the Favorites header.
2. Click on the Yahoo! Site or Favorites link you want to move and hold down the mouse.
3. Drag that selection up or down your list to the desired position and then let go of your mouse. You should see your selection listed in a brand new position.
Hope you enjoy these customization options for Yahoo! Hompage!
