To begin with, you will need a Google account. A Google account is free, doesn?t create spam, and you do not need to have Gmail to get a google account, you can sign up with any email account.

Googleaccountsignup

Once you have created, and signed into, your Google, account, you will need to visit the Google personalized hompage site at http://www.google.com/ig . Here is what you will see:

Addcontentbutton

This is your basic page layout. You can edit the weather and word of the day boxes by clicking on the edit tab, or close it out by clicking the ?x?. After you have that customized, head to the top left corner of the page, to the ?Add Content? button. When you open the add content bar on the right, you will see the following:

Enteringatomxml

Simply open the "Create a Section" tab, and you will see the "Search by topic or feed URL:" entry box. Here is where you will place the QJ.net RSS Feeds you want on your Google Homepage.


Once you enter the URL of the appropriate XML feed that you want on your page, you can rearrange your page as you see fit. To customize the locations of your XML feeds and windows, simply drag and drop them where you would like them:

Xmlfirstposition--> Xmldragging --> Xmlsecondposition

Repeat the above step for each of the XML feeds from the QJ.Net site network that you are interested in. When you have added them all, you are done. You will be able to use this personalized page for your homepage whenever you are logged into your google account.

Don't know if I'll use it much on my PC, but I set it up anyway.
I typically keep the main page for PSP Updates up all the time anyway and just refresh when I first sit down and again before I get up.
