Accessing your HOMEPAGE, EMAIL and FAVOURITES or BOOKMARKS doesn't just have to happen at home.

Imagine, you access the internet using any computer, anywhere, in the public library, at work, around a friends house. Imagine your own personalised HOMEPAGE, your EMAIL, your FAVOURITES. 

Have you had a computer problem whereby all of your emails addresses, email log - in or favourites have been lost ?
If it hasn't happened to you yet, IT WILL HAPPEN one day ! Your hard drive will fail, everything lost !

What browser do you use to surf the web ?

Try FIREFOX - It has the capabilities of using tabs to view multiple pages. Extensions can be installed to personalise Firefox to the way that you want it. Skins can be applied to make Firefox look just how you want it to look. Firefox has a built in, secure Form Filler. Just back-up one folder, your profile, and you have the capability to turn any Firefox into your Firefox.

Google are coming out with some great ideas on the internet.

GMAIL - A revolutionary online email system. How many email addresses have you had ? I can give you a m8s.co.uk email address, something simple like ds@m8s.co.uk. It's easy to use and has more storage than you'll ever use. Keep all of your email addresses online, keep every email that you have ever sent/received. Filter spam as easily as reading an email and clicking a button. Even if you change Internet Service Providers, or you don't like Gmail, your m8s.co.uk email address can be pointed to any email address that you have.

GMAIL IS AVAILABLE BY INVITATION ONLY.

• Email me with a request for a Gmail Account - I will send an invitation to you.
• You register with Gmail - Send me your Gmail Address together with the anything@m8s.co.uk email address that you want - I email you back when your anything@m8s.co.uk email address is set up.
• You then have to configure your Gmail Account to send as the anything@m8s.co.uk email address - Go to >Settings > Accounts > Add another email address, put your name and the anything@m8s.co.uk email address >  Send  Verification  >  Wait for mail in your Gmail Account > Enter Verification Code > Click make default > ALL DONE - You can now send/receive email at your m8s.co.uk email address - Tell everyone your m8s.co.uk email address.  

GOOGLE HOMEPAGE -  Imagine typing in a small internet address, www.google.co.uk/ig - then entering a username and password, then being shown a homepage that you have personalised to your liking. Show your latest Gmail messages received, your BOOKMARKS, news and weather from where you live. Many add-ons allow your homepage to look exactly how you want it with your information:- http://www.google.com/ig/directory
Some I use are Google Mail, Bookmarks, Sticky Notes, BBC News & Weather for Norwich.

GOOGLE BOOKMARKS - Internet Explorer call these FAVOURITES, most other applications call them BOOKMARKS. The pages that you have marked in your browser to return to on another occassion. Bookmarks don't have to be just at home - Keep them online.
Use one of the many Extensions available for Firefox, or a Google Bar for Internet Explorer, to easily add Bookmarks from your browsing window.

GOOGLE PAGE CREATOR  - These pages are created using Google Page Creator. All the work is done for you. They give 100MB of storage, plenty to do want you want to do.
