Just curious as to whether any of you guys have any interesting "home pages", as opposed to the usual MSN, Google, Yahoo etc..
I've always liked the Yahoo home page, but recently it seems to be constantly trying to load something.
Maybe it's trying to find a way around my hosts file.
Anyway, I'm sure some of you guys must have stunning home pages, or boring ones like me.
People use things besides google?

Or DumbSpace ("MySpace"), but to use DumbSpace you have to use all CAPS and have some crummy music playing in the background.
I use a Customized Google home page (iGoogle)

I like that idea firery, thanks.
You guys on the other side of the pond must be on something, and it's definitely not Ovaltine.
I use My Yahoo. It lets me bring much of Yahoo Finance on to the home page. This snap shot is only the top half. There is all kinds of market info and portfolios in the bottom half.
I never actually see my homepage as 99% of the time when I open Firefox I have restored tabs open from my last session.
Here's my homepage I made at the zone from the ground up! No quick set-ups.

My home page address is:
about:blank

Its something to do with the hoster. It doesn't affect me, but a lot of folk have to go via a proxy to see the image. Here they are:
Problem solved.
It's the hosts file blocking it. Just been away and renamed hosts file, and I can now see Tylers pictures.

The layout can't get more perfect, and it loads instantly
I know it's a bit googleish, could I have made a new word there.

I've got 3 since I use FF but this one is always at the front.

Is there anything I can do from my end so you don't have to keep renaming the hosts files, or is that a permanent fix?

If you ever have a website not working that's one of the first places to of course look by using the search function of either Notepad or Wordpad. Although that original pic from wtv-zone.com shouldn't be blocked by the MVPS.org HOSTS file since it isn't even in it.
I use http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ as mine, even thought 8/10 nothing useful is given away, it's free, the day i take it off, might be the day i miss out on something really good. Besides, ive gotten some really useful give aways. Loads pretty fast, it works for me.
