    What do you guys use for homepages? I run a personalized google homepage myself with a ton of RSS feeds on it.

    (this should be appropriate for this forum... I'd call a homepage more software than anything else)

    Google. Plain old Google. How boring of me :p.

    I don't really use the Homepage much anyways...I probably stay there like one minute per day before moving onto a new site.

    I use "Blank" and have Google as my default search.

    I basically live off of bookmarks, so I don't need a homepage.

    I've been using a regular Google page since I installed a sidebar with RSS features.

    I made my own, following this list

    http://www.widomaker.com/~reboughner/W3C/lists/

    I just create sections (kinda like a bookmarks page, only in HTML and javascript rather than bookmarks because I use about 5 or 6 different computers on a regular basis and hate trying to copy bookmarks.

    BLANK....just to be clear...BLANK...did I mention I set to BLANK? If not I set all of our systems to BLANK...

    btw, some people never realize they can create their own HTML page and just serve it up from their local system. I have a buddy who did this and actually it is pretty sweet. More efficent then favorites all the time. ANd more fun too.

    I also use netvibes (customized a bit with stylish extension for FF)

    [​IMG]



    Well actually I have about:blank on startup; just so it loads quicker if I don't wanna see the homepage; but my home button goes to netvibes.
