Topic: How are you using Backpack? / Backpack as a homepage

Yes, you can do an html like:
<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>

Or you can create a normal link and Ctrl click on the PC or Cmd click on the mac.

Topic: How are you using Backpack? / Backpack as a homepage

I use MAMP and I have an index.php file in the root that lists all sorts of links that I need, but that I don’t exactly want crowding my bookmarks bar or bookmarks menu. I was just about to create a custom solution to dynamically add links to the homepage, when I though – why not just make Backpack my homepage and add the links there.

So now Backpack is my homepage. It makes for easy adding and deleting of the links instead of opening Textmate for every little change.

I can even include my “Feedburner badge” to keep me updated on the # of subscribers to my blog.

Have you tried logging out of Basecamp or Highrise? The bar will refresh if you log out and log back in.

Thanks!
