I need to find another home page.

[Xyzse]

Generally, I use google as a quick thing, which is good, I don't have a problem with them.

However, Yahoo and MSN has messed around with their format, that it makes me dizzy.
The load time is screwy, and I get that there is increased mobilization of formats, but for desktops it just doesn't work.

It is like using a huge screen that blasts you with pictures to try to make sense of.
The navigation then becomes a pain.

Sorry...
I just saw the MSN preview page, and my design sensibilities got upset.

2. Thank you!

Much appreciated.

You know what's sad?
As soon as I clicked on www.calm.com - I automatically thought there must be a trick to this and went directly to view the source.

I keep failing the Do nothing for 2 minutes. I can't even last 30 seconds.

3. I'm using symbaloo.com right now.

I don't love it but it'll do until I find something better.

5. ighome.com

I use http://www.ighome.com … create an account and customize the page. I add rss feeds for blogs I follow -- those appear as square blocks. That way, i can check for interesting new entries whenever i go to the home page.

Like it a lot.

6. I've been writing my own home pages for more than twenty years now.

Has it been that long?

My homepage doesn't use anything more complicated than HTML 3 and works well on any internet device, from old "dumb" text only terminals to modern smart phones.

I'm a great believer in the Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) engineering philosophy because I'm often stupid.

7. I mean, I guess I can use my own website, but I don't want to.

8. I like the "Photo of the Day" from either NASA or National Geographic

NASA - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

National Geographic - http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/

Both have nice pictures that change daily, no frenetic jumping around or anything that needs a lot of attention. Usually I read the blurb about the picture of the day, but if I'm not in the mood, I don't have to. When I do read read their descriptions, I learn neat science.

9. "The World's Most Private Search Engine"

https://startpage.com/

StartPage, and its sister search engine Ixquick, are the only third-party certified search engines in the world that do not record your IP address or track your searches.

I use startpage as my default search engine but I use my own 20+ year-old home page with all my links.
