To change your home page, please do the following:

  1. Go to the site you want to set as your home page.

  2. Click Tools | Options | General.

  3. Make sure it says "Show My Home Page" in the menu at the top (use the down arrow to select that if it isn't).

  4. Click the button called "Use Current Page" to set the home page to the one you have on the screen.
