Jayaseelan Pannirselvam asked:
So my question is: Is there an outside chance that the sentence "When you click the Home page icon, the Techwhirler Home page displays" will pass muster in the tech writing world?

Hi Jayaseelan,

I am not a native speaker of the English language too (I am German), but why don't you write
"When you click the Home page icon, the Techwhirler Home page OPENS."

Just my two Eurocents
