Ditto. I created my own startpage, just a plain HTML here and CSS there. Took me a week to learn how to do HTML and CSS (well... took me three weeks to figure out how to use CSS).

I went with static HTML because I want something easily editable and my memory is shit. So I need something that I can easily edit it and portable. I have several desktops, so I have my html page in my OneDrive and have my browsers to use it as the homepage.
