Website Construction

I completed my website project earlier today. You can find it at http://cheynej.awardspace.biz/. I'm posting some pics here for the purpose of archiving later on. In the future, I'd like to post an instructional on basics for using Microsoft Frontpage and Adobe Dreamweaver.































I also just fixed every hyperlink in this blog to open a new browser window upon clicking instead of using the current one. Why a blog wouldn't do that by default is a good question to ask. That's it for now!

Why you should use iGoogle for your Homepage

Everyone has their choice of internet browser homepage, that much is for certain. I happen to use iGoogle.

iGoogle offers enough features to sink a battleship and then some. Not only does it load explosively fast, it has multitudes of relevant add-on gadgets to customize your interface to the teeth with. Best of all, it takes almost no time at all to set up.

The setup I am currently using means that every time I open a new Internet Explorer window (or FireFox for that matter) I have leads on the latest news feeds, the temperature, my most recent e-mails accurately displayed, Facebook updates, and more. I also have a secondary panel I can click to with links to a load of reference search engines like Wikipedia and Dictionary.com. Notably, the search bar for Google's famed search engine is always available with this homepage.

Here's what I'm talking about, you can click the images below to see them at normal scale:

That's all there is to it. You can save iGoogle with a cookie provided for you, or keep it logged in with a Google account. To set it as your homepage with Internet Explorer, just click Internet Options under the Tools menu tab. It will be the first thing that pops up.
