Top Tips for Top Sites

Top Sites, a new feature in Safari 4, has a few tricks you can use to make it as helpful as possible.

What the Blue Star Means
If you see a blue star in the upper-right corner of a site, that indicates that the site has been updated. Safari uses the RSS feed of the relevant site to determine if it has been updated.



Arrange Your Top Sites
Click on the edit button in the lower-left corner to arrange your sites.



To remove a site, click on the X in its upper-left corner. To make sure a site stays on the top sites, click on the push-pin button or move the site to a different place in the grid.



Add a Site
Here's how to add a site to your Top Sites:

Step 1: Go to the site and copy its URL from the address bar.
Step 2: Open Top Sites. (Cmd-Shift-1)
Step 3: Click on the edit button in the lower-left corner.
Step 4: Paste the URL into the address bar of the Top Sites window. Do not hit return.
Step 5: Drag the favicon of the site from the address bar into the Top Sites section. As you drag it, the sites should rearrange themselves.
Step 6: Drop the site into the place you want it.
Step 7: Click on the done button.
Step 8: Click on the Top Site you just added.
