'Home page' was used first, but 'homepage' followed soon after, is also acceptable and I prefer. Homepage was used to refer to the main page of a website as early as July 1993. Home page was used to refer to the main page of a website as early as September 1992. The first web browser was only written (by Tim Berners-Lee) in 1990-1991. The Bridge Home had many hilarious parts and also many sad ones as well, whenever I read a book I almost always expect it to have a somewhat ha But after my mother surprised me and she told that she had loaned this book from the library for me, I jumped up and down because I had been wanting to finish it.

Home Page Reader (Hpr) was a computer program, a self-voicing web browser designed for people who are blind. It was developed by IBM from the work of Chieko Asakawa at IBM Japan.
Read The Homepage And Fill
The screen reader met World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) HTML 4.01 specifications, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.[4]
In 2006, it was announced on the Hpr mailing list that IBM does not have plans for any further updates of HPR and the software was subsequently withdrawn from sale by IBM in December 2006.[5] IBM has given code to be used as a Firefox extension.[citation needed]
The program also had a peer-support mailing list.[6][note 1]
Criticism[edit]
In summer 2002 a non-scientific study concluded that Hpr did not make any distinction between the built-in keyboard shortcuts for entering different modes and the access keys available on websites. The research claimed that Hprs would do better to use links mode to cycle through a list.[7]
