iGoogle

= = =__iGoogle__= iGoogle is defined as a customizable home page or a personal web portal. To access iGoogle, type igoogle.com into the url bar. This is the page that you will be directed to. From here, you will be able to choose what is included on your homepage, including everything shown above.

Another way you can personalize your iGoogle page is by changing the theme. As you can see, in the bottom left hand corner, there is a button that allows you to easily change the theme. There is no real "purpose" for themes, but they just improve the appearance of your page!

Also, once you have created a page on this initial screen, you will be able to add "gadgets." These gadgets greatly resemble apps and can range from games to social to school references. This is how you add a gadget:

Step 1) Click Add Gadget. It is a red button in the top left corner. Step 2) Search anything you like. For example, the hamster is being searched. The search box is in the top right corner of the page.

Step 3) Select the correct gadget and click add it now. There, you will see the description of the gadget.

Step 4) Click "Back to iGoogle Home" and start the process again from step one.
