Blank page, but my home page is a collection of searches I put together.

I have a page I created that sits locally in my ~/sites/ folder (so it loads quickly and works offline). I have random flickr images loading at the top, my del.icio.us bookmarks generated on the right side, links to current projects running locally on my computer, and a few other useful links.

A search engine with a difference. It does clustering of unusual words that it finds on page results from a raw search, and suggests these as refinements to your search. Genius! Not too good when you want to access websites that use a language other than English though, in which case it's back to good 'ol Google

Do I see widgets hovering above a blank web page? 😀

Either that or you need to get Tiger. 😉
 
I use a blank page. This way I can type in a URL immediately after opening a new page or quickly strike the tab key to the google search box for a web search. Speed is a friendly tool, constantly clicking the mouse isn't. 😉
 
It has been set to Yahoo for some time now ... it gives me a quick look at all the "wonderful" things happening in this world.
 
the apple start page. i'm just too used to it. maybe i'l switch to popsci magazine webpage. i'm a new reader of that magazine.
 
ESPN.com, although I find I usually end up immediately opening a new tab to get gmail and MR started. A blank page might not be a bad idea, either.
 
It used to be MR. Now it's Nascar.com. It usually depends on where in the racing season we are. When the season is over it will be back to MR.

It's just HTML and a wee bit of CSS. You can download the zip containing all the files. I just keep it in my sites folder, but it'll work most anywhere.

I've had a search page of some variety for long before Tiger came out (and yes, I do use Tiger). I find my page to be a slicker alternative to a bunch of widgets taking up dashboard space and system resources (they use a decent amount of memory).
