READ: Creating your own Google Startpage

Intro

You may remember that when you go to www.google.com, the page is pretty empty. Google offers a unique way to customize your google search page and add gadgets to it that are useful to you!

According to Wikipedia, iGoogle (or google startpage) "is a customizable...personal web portal. Its features include the capability to add web feeds and Google Gadgets."

Sold yet? I guess I'm biased because I love everything google makes. Here is a picture of MY google startpage to get you excited about creating yours:



As you can see from this example, I have plenty of gadgets on my own google start page. I've got a google talk button, which launches google chat when I push the button. I've got my email on the left, and a famous optical illusions gadget underneath that. I've also got my calendar, wikipedia, the weather, and my google docs all in the same place: my google startpage.
