A Cool Start Page
It is great to have fast ways to access all the websites you visit more often. And there are several ways to do this. Some people use their browser’s bookmarks toolbar and some people use web based platforms like Netvibes or iGoogle. I needed a faster way. At least for the websites I visit everyday. Gmail, news websites, my homepage or my online task manager are a few examples. But what’s faster than the browser’s bookmarks toolbar? Probably nothing!
There is nothing faster than the bookmarks toolbar but there is, at least, one solution as fast as the bookmarks toolbar and much more versatile – a locally hosted web page with a collection of the most often used links.
I created and use one for a few months now and I’m so addicted to it that I decided to give it to you. I provide it under a GPLv2 License so you can do whatever you want with it.

- Download the Start Page Template (173).
- Extract the contents of that ZIP file to a folder of your choice.
- Edit the index.html file and add the links and images to the websites you visit more often. As you’re at it, edit the footer too and add your name.
- Open the index.html file in your favorite web browser and copy its address from the browser’s address bar.
- Paste the copied address in the browser’s “Homepage” field.
- That’s it!
