Free Republic

Imagine having a simple tool for creating and updating your own private starter page (homepage) of favorite links on the web. If you're looking for something like that, I've built one you can download and use for free. Here's the idea behind it: Build and maintain the homepage using a simple text editor (such as Notepad++) that doesn't require you to learn HTML — just insert a few HTML tags. Deliver a private HTML page that launches from your laptop so you can quickly access your links without Big Tech's help. Enable quick search engine switching to and from...

Last week I happened across a blog post showing the history of Apple.com over the past 17 years, complete with screenshots culled from the very earliest days of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. It’s a serious trip down memory lane, but it didn’t go back far enough ... ...

The California Senate has erased the names and online archives of three suspended lawmakers entangled in criminal cases. The Senate removed pictures, video clips and legislative archives over the weekend involving Democratic Sens. Rod Wright of Los Angeles, Ron Calderon of Montebello and Leland Yee of San Francisco. All that remains on the websites is information about their Senate districts. The three men have lost the rights and privileges of a senator, which include having a Senate-maintained website, said Mark Hedlund, a spokesman for Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.

Anyone got cure for his virus?

Click on the first five "lights" beneath the world "Google" left to right (you're hear a tone each time). Then click on the rightmost "light," and the screen temporarily turns dark and the words "Google" turned into a Christmas light display complete with a short rendition of "Jingle Bells." Merry Christmas, everyone.

Anyone else having problems with their iGogle homepage? The last couple of days, my iGoogle homepage loads, but without any content. It has the format, the headers the chosen content groups, but all the groups and apps are empty. Anyone have any knowledge about what's going on?

I just found out if you hover over someones handle, it shows when they joined FR. If you click on that it takes you to their homepage. One I just saw had a photo. how do I do that? Feeling kinda spiffy here as earlier I created my first URL link in a post.

I've been using google news as my home page, but they are just too liberal, and they have too much sports and entertainment. Can someone suggest a news home page? What are some of the favorites here at FR?

If you have an envious streak, you probably shouldn't read this. Because chances are, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet. Selling porn? Dealing prescription drugs? Nope. All he sells are pixels, the tiny dots on the screen that appear when you call up his home page. He had the brainstorm for his million dollar home page, called, logically enough, www.milliondollarhomepage.com, while lying in bed thinking out how he would pay for university. The idea:...

What is your homepage? FR, Foxnews, Yahoo, Google...?

I'm searching for the Freeper (female) Ilikewineinthemorning, or something familiar. I visited her home page and a graphic that showed a man on the can saying the Koran is available in two ply now.I want to copy the graphic and silk screen it onto T Shirts.

Hello Freepers. Your help is needed! Please give me directions (like I was a 5 yr old) on how to place pictures on my FR profile/homepage. I am not very computer savvy......I do know where the enter key is!!...LOL... I am sure there are different ways to do this. Any and all would be greatly appreciated. THANK-YOU!

Hey, Mr. Robinson, I like the new home page! Pleasing to the eye. Easier to navigate. Aye, matey, ya done good!

Help! A website with the URL of http://nnsearch.biz/ has taken over my home page. No matter how many times I try to reset my home page back to the Drudge report, this new web page keeps popping back as my home page. I clicked on Tools and then on Internet Options to reset back to http://drudgereport.com, this new web page keeps coming back. So HOW do I get RID of http://nnsearch.biz/ as my home page.

Attention all FReepers who use BellSouth.net as their ISP: They are doing surveys to improve the layout of their Home Page. Among the polls is this one: "Who would you like to see be BellSouth's news content provider?". So far FOX News is leading the way 40% to CNN's 29% but we could use some FReeper help to build a more commanding lead. The current news content provider is ABC and it would be great if we could help get that changed. If you're not a BellSouth.net subscriber perhaps you may be able to vote as well. Try it and...
