What page do you have set as your “home page” for when you first open a new browser window? Do you know what I mean? When you open Explorer or Firefox or Opera, which comes up on that page before you go surfing off to other sites? Is it your ISP’s default page, or maybe a blank page, or your fave search engine like Google? Right now I have a blank page set for Explorer and Speed Dial for Opera, but here is something absolutely cooler.
At HomePagle, you can effortlessly and fully customize your browser’s start page or “home page”. You choose the image you want (there are so many cool shots to browse through on their site). Then, you simply click the “Make My Homepage” button and a little window will pop up to tell you how to set your home page on whichever browser you are using. I was using Opera and Homepagle gave me a super easy step-by-step diagram showing me how to set the page in my browser.
Of course you can choose absolutely any image by just uploading it from your hard drive to the Homepagle servers. They will walk you through that, too.

A Google search box was automatically inserted, Here, this is what my new home page looks like:
And, here is a sample of one created using pics of Borat and the ever-amazing Captain Jack Sparrow.
Can this be done on my mac?
It works with any browser that allows you to set a start page. So, you just need to follow the instructions for Safari, or whatever you use on your Mac.
