iGoogle is a personalized Google homepage. You can put just about anything on it. Read the following steps to learn how.

Steps

1. Go to Google. In the upper left-hand corner, there should be a link that says "iGoogle".
2. Click on it and it will take you to the iGoogle section. There, you will see various different boxes (i.e. news, weather, horoscope, etc).
3. You can move its contents by dragging the boxes around to wherever you like on the page.
4. If you look above the boxes, you should see a link called "Add a Tab". You can click it, give it a name, and decide whether to check or uncheck the "I'm feeling lucky" box.
5. Click "Add Stuff>>", located on the right side near the top. This will take you to a page where you can search for add-ons in different categories, such as Fun & Games and Sports.
6. Search a criteria. For instance, "Bengals" under the Sports category; various items will appear. If you want "Yahoo! Sports - NFL# - Cincinnati Bengals News", click on the link. This allows you to view information about it, as well as a screenshot for some. If, after viewing this, you want to add it to your page, click the button that says "Add it now".
7. Once you get it on your page, you can always remove it by clicking the x in the top left corner. You can also add some useful gadgets like calendar, countdown, to do lists, email, gas price check, etc.


Tips

* Most of the time when you type in a name for your tab, it will automatically add content, depending on the tab's name. Uncheck the "I'm feeling lucky" box if you'd rather start from scratch and add your own gadgets.
* Use the "Add stuff" page wisely. The search bar at the top let's you find stuff to add to your page more easily. Also, you can click the "Add by URL" link to its right to add a link of your own. That way, you'll be able to add an RSS feed of a site or blog that you like that you wouldn't be able to find in the search results.
* A fairly new feature is Themes. The link is on the right side of the page, next to Add Stuff. When you click on this, it will come up with a box with several different themes to choose from. Click on the one you like and save it. You can then enter your zip code/hometown, and it will make the theme and colors change according to the time of day.


Warnings

* Either create an account or don't delete your cookies. Otherwise, everything will be lost and it will go back to the classic Google page.
* Don't add too many things to your page; it will load really slowly and increase the chance of browser crashing. Instead, you can create multiple tabs (e.g. one for games, another for RSS feeds, etc)..
