Personalise your BBC online home page

Find out how to customise this essential website to contain just the information you need

Written by Computeractive staff, Computeractive

Introduction

The BBC home page is a portal that opens doors to a wide range of information from Auntie Beeb. From the latest news and sports headlines, radio and television listings, weather forecast and much more, the site is something of a one-stop-shop for details of what is happening in the world.

With such a huge amount of data available from a single page it would be easy to get overwhelmed, but thankfully the BBC site is customisable. The content that is displayed can be configured to best suit where in the world you live and the types of things you are interested in. There are also a range of accessibility options on hand to make the site as easy to view as possible. We show you how to personalise this essential website.
