Top Sites

Unless you’ve specified your own starting page—the Web site you want to open each time you create a new Safari window—Safari always starts you off with the Top Sites window shown in Figure 12-3. These thumbnails represent what Safari has determined are your favorite Web sites, as calculated by how often and how recently you’ve visited them. The idea, of course, is to save you time; the sites you’re most likely to want to revisit are one click away.

Ordinarily, the Top Sites display changes over time, as your tastes and your activities change. But you can override Safari’s attempt to curate this page in various ways. For example, you can pin a certain site so that it never leaves the Top Sites screen, or you can manually add a page.

Here’s some of the fun you can have:

  • Rearrange the thumbnails by dragging them around.

  • Delete a thumbnail by pointing to it; click the button that appears in the corner after a couple of seconds. This page will never again appear on Top Sites.

  • Pin a site—so that it’s always in Top Sites, even if you don’t visit it much—pointing to it; click the pushpin icon that appears in the corner after a moment.

    You can open the Top Sites display either by clicking the Top Sites button on the toolbar or by choosing History→Show Top Sites. Click a page to revisit it.You can point to a tile and pause (or just right-click) to view the Delete and Pin buttons.

  • Add a new page to the Top Sites display. There are a bunch of ways to go about it.

    For example, you can drag a bookmark from the Sidebar (Hiding All Other Programs) into the Top Sites window, or even onto the Top Sites icon () on the toolbar. Or, if a Web page is open, hold your cursor down on the button (next to the search/address bar); from the shortcut menu, choose Top Sites. You can also drag a Web address wherever it may appear—an email, Messages message, Web page, or document, for example—into the Top Sites window or onto its toolbar icon.
