Personalized Google Home Page

Google offers a personalized home page. You can add stuff like clocks, a spell checker, maps, weather, games, news, bookmarks, jokes… the list goes on and on.

Now, Google offers themes so you can skin the home page. Awesome! I chose “sweet dreams” because the colors change with the time of day. Cool! All the themes dynamically change based on your time zone, but the sweet dreams looked the cleanest. The theme is easy on the eyes. And now I want to add more cool stuff!

Here is a list of the gadgets I added to my Google Home Page:

1. Google Reader (feeds for blogs that I read)
2. Spell Check
3. World Sunlight Map (shows the world partly shaded where it’s night)
4. Fuzzy Clock (expresses time in words like this: Ten until Twelve)
5. Day Calendar (pretty flip-style-looking calendar page with today’s date)
6. Random Color Scheme (little themed color squares for design ideas)
7. Simple Calc (calculator - I might remove because it doesn’t have a decimal point)
8. Lady Bugs (my favorite! little lady bugs crawl around the screen!)

Also, you don’t need to have a Google account to have a personalized home page. It just remembers your settings. But, if you use more than one computer, a google account is kind of cool. Especially if you use the bookmarks gadget (a list of bookmarks available no matter which computer you’re on).

And, as always… it’s free! Check it out: Personalized Home
