I intentionally kept the menu simple, but I'll be creating a somewhat more complicated one in the future since I visit more sites than can fit on a single screen if the menu is laid out like this one is. When I have that done, I'll post it here along with the revised html.

Meanwhile, if anyone has questions or comments about the menu, please speak up. I have no experience with Apples or Smartphones, though. Just Windows.

I'm going to share a tip that some of you may find very useful. I'm sure others here will yawn or find the tip not helpful for the way they use the internet... but here goes just the same:

If you regularly visit a lot of places on the web - more than you want to set startup tabs for in your browser - you may find it helpful to create your own html page and list them all, then open it as one of the few tabs your browser has when it starts up. So instead of having 14 or more startup tabs for all the sites you use, you'd just have one that lists them all. Your browser might then look like this upon startup: (Note: This screenshot is Mozilla Firefox, but you could do the same thing with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.)

The code isn't complicated or even very big, but it occurs to me that many just don't know enough about html to write it, or might not even know that such a thing is possible.

Below, I've provided the html code you'll need to create my startup menu. If you cut and paste this code into a text file named BrowserMenu.txt on your Windows desktop, save it, then rename the file to BrowserMenu.html (or FavoriteSites.html as I did... hope that didn't cause any confusion), you can then run it with your browser or even make it your browser's startup page.

Once you've got BrowserMenu.html on your desktop, start your browser and connect to the menu by typing in its url. In my case, the url is C:\FavoriteSites.html... but yours (if you've followed my guidance) would probably be something like C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\BrowserMenu.html

If you don't know the url for the files on your desktop, right click on the BrowserMenu.html icon and then click on Properties. Its "Location" will be listed.
