    I have been using Yahoo (My Yahoo) for a few years now and it seems as though they have changed their homepage design and I'm not a fan of the change. The things I do like about My Yahoo is you can add RSS feeds to my homepage and certain links such as weather, news and traffic are formatted to where I live. My question, are their other sites I can use as my homepage that can be used like My Yahoo did (for free)?

    I did some searching DSTM and only found 1 link via google where I can make it my homepage. It was called iGoogle but it supposed to be discontinued in November 2013. It seemed to fit EXACTLY what I was looking for. Figures their gonna take it off-line!!!:doh:

    Hi Tim, for a long time I used a home page provided by my own ISP, being a UK based company and therefore UK based news, weather etc it did the job for me as I am in the UK.
    However there are many USA based ISP's I wonder is there one with a decent home page you could use?

    Even MSN still has a good page for news and many other things of use.

    Here is a link for the Supanet home page to give you an idea of what sort of ISP provided page you may find useful, though this is of UK, not American.

    http://www.supanet.com/

    Just some extra ideas for you to look into is all.

    Think I found a good one folks. It's called "protopage" (www.protopage.com) and you can set up your homepage the way you like, change the colors, add pics and RSS feeds. Adding RSS feeds is a little buggy but with a little work, can be done. You can easily drag and drop the icon in the address bar to designate it as your homepage. And the BIG winner....NO ADS like Yahoo has!!! Thanks for your help everyone :)
