Essential Links

Make EL.com your browser's default start page!

Navigate the Web easily, every day!

Make Essential Links your default startup page

Why?

The Web page that you choose as your browser's default startup page is the Web page that you first see every time you start your Web browser. This page also is the one that shows up whenever you press the "Home" key on the toolbar of your browser window. Look on your browser toolbar above to see this button. Why set EL.com as your default page? Consider the following --

From EL.com you can quickly navigate to most other search engines, Web portals, directories, news and information sites, and the more popular sites on the Internet.

You don't have to choose another portal site as your start page. Use all of the more popular portals with EL.com.

Quickly navigate to all of the major news sites, stock quotes, Web tools or just "surf" the Net with ease!

Use it to get to your favorite reference, encyclopedia, dictionary, even set your watch -- just by clicking the "Home" key!

Once you become used to navigating the Web with EL.com, you can go to any Web browser anywhere (friends, family, library, etc.), and simply by entering "EL.com" as the destination, you're off and running!

Already happy with your browser's startup page? You'll probably find it an easy one-click away from EL.com!

Take the high ground. Enjoy a room with a view of the entire Internet. Just as major cities have EL (elevated) trains, the Information Superhighway has an EL -- EL.com that is! On the Internet, Welcome is spelled http://www.EL.com/
