Frequently Asked Questions

In case you were wondering...

1. What is Blinkdash?

It's a simple page that you can customize with your favorite links and search tools.

2. Why should I use this page?

Many other start pages are just a collection of distractions. Widgets, feeds, headlines, and games might seem nice, but a start page should help you get where you want to go instead of tempting you into distractions that can waste hours of your time. Blinkdash is for people who think a start page should be a launchpad, not an obstacle.

3. How do I set blinkdash.com as my home page?

Internet Explorer: Go to the Tools menu, then click Internet Options. The rest should be self-explanatory.
Mozilla Firefox: Click the icon on the left of the web address and drag it left to the house icon.
Safari: For instructions, click here.
Google Chrome For instructions, click here.
Other browsers: I don't know. Sorry.

5. How can I make my links and search results appear in new tabs or windows?
