So thing 2 was about setting up an iGoogle page. As soon as I logged in, what I needed to do seemed straight forward enough . It was fun testing out the gadgets. There were some that I initially thought would be quite interesting, but turned out to be disappointing; for example some of the optical illusion ones. I am happy with my hamster though

Once i’d selected the gadgets I wanted the layout was still all over the place, so I did need to move the gadgets around until they seemed to fit well together on the page. But it wasn’t until I changed the theme of my page that it really put everything into place.

I didn’t realise how useful an iGoogle page could be for me, until I did this exercise. But now I can see myself using it quite often.
