I've recently changed my homepage, and it is still kind of weird to see it every time I open my browser. That got me thinking about what homepages I have had in the past and why I used them.

To make a long story short, the one I replaced I wasn't using, and the one I was I didn't want as my homepage. So I decided to do something different. And it makes me smile every time I see it. http://oo22.com/fb/alright.html

So what do you guys have as your homepage? Is it functional? Is it there just because you're used to it? I want to knoooooooow. Smile

I find any other setting pretty darn annoying because the likelihood of whatever my home page is set to not being where I want or need to go at any given moment is quite high. Thus, I prefer a blank slate, using a combination of bookmarks, bookmark groups, typing, and the history to take me where I want to go.

There are several places I visit several times a day and not a whole lot else, but on any particular time I open my browser, I might be going to any of them or none of them. The experience would be colored if the wrong one happened to be opened by default. For instance, if one of the porn sites that forms the earliest part of my morning routine were it, my browser would always make me horny and/or frustrated about the lack of updates. If it were slashdot, I'd always be in serious mode. If It were Something Awful, I'd definitely not be.

That's as minimalist as they get, but even that wouldn't work for me. I'd feel like I was being encouraged to look for something, even though I already know where I want to go. Besides, firefox got a search bar. It'd be redundant.

Google. I can't think of anything else I would want as a homepage. I used iGoogle for a while, but it was too cluttered for my liking.

Adorkable.
My homepage is google, but I never see it, because I always just restore whatever firefox session I was running last. Normally that includes zetachannel and at least three other tabs, but those kind of rotate.

Currently Google. The base page, at that.

I used to leave it blank (and then later had it pop up with the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear) , but i like having the search engine fire up from the get go.

I have persimmons.
MSN.com mostly out of habit now. I have it personalized to include stuff I like to read and most days I do read my MSN page before surfing elsewhere. I don't watch the news, so it's how I have a clue what's going on. I usually follow it with a click to my Yahoo page for again more news before surfing elsewhere.
MSN frequently ticks me off by changing my layout on every holiday. I've thought about changing it for years, but just never found anything I was comfortable replacing it with.

Yahoo.  Been that way ever since I started using the internet many many years ago.  I only use it to read the news and sports though.
