Otherwise I'd get sucked into the kudoz pages and waste time instead of going straight to my emails first thing to see if any work related stuff has come in.
I actually use IATE but that doesn't stop me from overlooking it when seeking solutions.
I find that I tend to use my home page as a sort of "cover" to the "book" that is internet and don't linger on it for long...

But not because I give priority to some other frequently used websites - I just like to start with blank page.

I set more than one page as my opening pages - one of them is Proz, a couple of them are dictionary sites - but the one which actually comes up on top is usually a blank one - just like Kristina's

is my homepage. But the first thing I look at is usually my e-mail.

My homepage is always about:blank.

which I've customised to show: the RSS feeds from several translation blogs I like; BBC news headlines; a currency converter; a units converter; my Google calendar; gmail message headers; UK national rail timetable query box; BBC weather forecast; calculator; Wikipedia search box.
I only recently realised that igoogle would do all this, and it has been very helpful.

Like Angela, I really like iGoogle, too. You can change the items you put there, which is nice. At the moment I have Gmail preview, weather, phases of the moon and art of the day.

| iGoogle as well | Aug 11, 2009 |
hence my request, in the past, to Poz.com staff if they could develop some simple gadgets for iGoogle like the most recent: jobs, Kudoz, posts, etc. I am sure that many users of iGoogle would benefit from it.
Best Regards
Stanislaw
PS: I must admit that almost always I have a tab or two in my browser with Proz.com

I, likewise, use the BBC as my first point of call every day.

Maybe I'm too ardent a member but I think it's important to be updated 'automatically' especially since having abandoned KudoZ alerts.
I always check my emails first, though.
So far I am surprised by the result. I thought a majority of the ProZ.com users was doing what I do.
