I missed last week's Friday Five, but it was all about traveling, which we haven't done much of in years... However, this week's questions are quite relevant to my world :-)

1. How much time do you spend online each day? On my computer itself, actually most of my waking day. I almost always have my email program, spamfilter and browser open most of the time I have the computer on. Hmmm... I was going to put in links for MS Entourage and Mac IE but microsoft.com is not responding, I wonder if they're on the east coast and part of the power outage. Ironically I noticed Texas is the only state with it's own separate power grid.

2. What is your browser homepage set to? To my eBay "All" page, for my main webstore Morticia's Morgue Collectibles (which requires a password, sorry!). If I'm signed in under my other user ID it goes to my postcard store, Enigma Arts Vintage Postcards.

3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)? I think I have some form of AIM installed (some Apple version) but I really dislike instant messaging. It's kind of like having the phone ringing all the time to me. I don't even have my email set to check automatically, I prefer to do it manually.

4. Where was your first webpage located? On my "free" Earthlink page, then I registered my own domain and used a really crappy hosting company for a year or so, then I found a really great one and have been using them ever since. In a few weeks Morticia's Morgue will be on the web for six years. My husband and I have purchased several other domains since then, one for his business, one for this weblog, and one for my cat (which I'm just beginning to finally start working on). And then I have two homepages on eBay to maintain also...

5. How long have you had your current website? Almost six years for my main website and this weblog will be almost a year, I think I began it last September.
