I have tried repeatedly to set my Safari homepage. I open the page I want, go to preferences, click the tab that says set current page. Then if I leave that page and go to a different site, close out of Safari and then reopen Safari it opens to the last site I was visiting. I don't get it.

It rememebers your last seesion, you have to fiddle with the preferences to avoid that.
Quit, reboot and relaunch Safari. Click your home button, do you go to your home page you have set in your preferences?
Does your home page preference stay in Safari preferences upon relaunching of the program?
If the answer to the above is no, then you have a corrupt Safari preferences file.
Use the Finder > Go To Folder and type
/Library/Preferences
and press Go.
A window appears, scroll down and find the
com.apple.safari.plist
file and Trash it
Reboot and relaunch Safari, the file will be recreated in place blank, so set your Safari preferences again.

In Lion, by default all apps, e.g., Safari, will now try to start up in the same state they were in when you quit them.
To turn this off, go to System Preferences, General and uncheck the box toward the bottom. ("Restore windows...")
To prevent this from happening with just Safari: either close all windows before quitting, or hold option when quitting, or hold shift when launching from the dock.
I hope all that makes sense.

Thank you CT. I appreciate the 'Apple' community and how helpful everyone always is.
Have a great day. Go Kentucky Wildcats!!!
eek... I really dislike the word 'corrupt'.
