Just thought I'd post this up here because I find it so useful and some of you may not know about it.

http://www.google.com/ig

Igoogle is a great home page to have set in your browser, you can set your home page to be exactly as you like it with many different themes and colours, you can enable hundreds of different applications, news boxes, and all sorts of interesting information right on your browser

You can see on my home page here I have my bookmarks right in the centre, I have news headline lists, word of the day, weather information, world clocks, currency converters, and all sorts of useful information and tools right where I want them.

Down the left I have multiple tabs filled with different pages of games, cooking recipes, applications and useful information pages, all sorts of stuff. How many tabs you have, and what goes into each tab or page is totally up to you, there are thousands of different apps and fun things you can stick into your pages, as well as many different themes you can set for your igoogle page.

Above is my tab page that has all my "interesting stuff".

The best thing is that you can access your page from anywhere, from anyone's computer, you just log into igoogle from any computer and all of your bookmarks and notes, and interesting things are right there.

I might be sounding like I own shares in it, but I have found it really useful........ IT's extremely simple and very handy, if you have time or the inclination, try it out...

That is pretty cool Joel. Having a play with it now, just have to work out how to set my bookmarks. I did find a little fish gadget that allows you to feed the fish in a window and they come and eat it :flower:
