Had a request for this start page, so I'm going to release it.
It's a mess and it's HTML5 based. Mostly, it's a mess.
The CSS is in the header, so no need for a separate file for it. The structure of the nav...sucks. It's nested lists, which I style for the whole nav rather than using classes. Basically, you'll see things like this: nav ul li ul li {}.
Of course, if all you want to do is change the colors - that's simple. The background is #1C1C1C, 'white' foreground is #DDEEDD, and the green color is #B7CE42. The font in use is Terminus. Find and replace will work wonders to change those.
Meh. I'll never stop using a blank page and just firing off sites from the autocomplete in the chrome bar. When you're taking administration cues from an interface element, something is wrong with your operating.
I hate thinking, what should I do now, and deciding using my bookmarks. My reddit addiction is bad enough without there being any cues pointing me back there, Haha. If I had something that says, remember reddit? Remember this icon? why don't you click me and go back there? I would never get a break.
It's an idea from back when I would consider what a system that operated the operator would be like. I decided that usually the interface should avoid making suggestions on what the user should be doing with their time. I think it makes the experience more controlled, even though it's only a cosmetic change.
But maybe it's just the way I work. Kinda like a rat in a skinner box. No sense of time or purpose.
But then I did read on reddit there is a large contingent of hackers who have set 'about:blank' as their home page. It could be a common problem.
Ahh... I rarely use bookmarks. I figure that, since I visit so few websites on a regular basis, I already remember what they are so I just make it easier for me to get there.
Bookmarks are great for remembering obscure things that I will want again eventually, but are outside my normal browsing routine. (For instance, I have certain recipes filed away under bookmarks. I also have game walkthroughs bookmarked, but since I have a tendency to remember the URL, it's just easier for me to type it in again and let autocomplete take me back there.)
