1. I have the Google page as my home page...
And that looks truly cool today!

I always enjoy how Google adapts their logo for whatever cool thing is going on...

:hi:

Many more http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html">here. (All of them, I think.)

P.S. did you ever try Firefox?

5. Have you tried any of the keyboard shortcuts
or keywords?

Keywords are great and easy to create: Go to a page that you search often, Wikipedia or Snopes for example. Right-click on the search window and select 'add a keyword for this search.' Give it a descriptive name and a short keyword (I like to use single letters). Then save it by clicking 'add.' Now you can just type your keyword/letter followed by what you are searching for and Firefox will automatically perform the search and take you to the results.

For example, I have the following keywords set:
d - dictionary
h - ehistory (Ohio State University)
i - images (google)
m - maps (google)
n - news (google)
s - snopes
w - wikipedia
y - youtube

Some keyboard shortcuts (just faster than always using the mouse):
F5 (reload)
Ctrl T (create new tab)
Ctrl W (close tab)
Ctrl pgup/dn (go to previous/next tab)
Ctrl +/- (increase/decrease text size)
Ctrl Shift T (open last closed tab)


Say for example I need to need to look up Titanic on Wikipedia. I type 'Ctrl T' (which opens a new tab followed by 'w titanic' (cursor was already in the address bar). Presto. After finding what I need I type 'Ctrl W' to close the tab and I am returned to the previous tab.

8. I haven't done those yet...
I think KW tried to show me, but it was overload for me!

Thanks for the tips...

One of these days!

I'm not a quick study, by any means...
