The goal of a personalized start page is to take multiple tasks that you would ordinarily carry out on different websites and put them all in the same place. The start page can display the news for you, read blogs, check the mail, and let you search the web.
12. Adding Content Most websites will spell it out by having a link or button called "add content" at the top of the page, usually at the top-left or top-right. There are two basic types of content you can add to the page: web feeds and widgets. A web feed, also known as an RSS feed, is used to read the news and can bring you the latest entries from your favorite websites The second type of content provided are components called widgets. Popular widgets used on include widgets that check email, a notepad for writing down reminders, a local weather checker, a scheduler, and search features for various websites or even the entire web. Some personalized start pages even allow you to add your favorite custom widget.
13. What can start pages do for students and teachers? Help students to organize online search materials, calendars, counters etc. With some services students can access pre-prepared tabs that teachers have created for them to give them access to research. For the teacher or for students they provide a place to track news, events and personal feeds. They assist in bringing the research to the user as soon as they start their browser.
