      <![CDATA[<blockquote>Dear Barbara-
I hope you might have an answer to my ? I am a computer lab teacher looking for an appropriate homepage for the lab computers. (K-8 Lab.) I have used Yahooligans -- but it has gotten too commercial -- also AOL kids -- too many ads! Do you have any ideas? I would appreciate your input.
Thanks very much,

<p>Dear Pat,</p>

<p>How about the Google personalized homepage <a href="http://www.google.com/ig" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">iGoogle</a>?  You can customize iGoogle with with fun themes, add content  such as "Word of the Day," and RSS feeds from your favorite sites (including Surfnetkids.com and SharingLinks.com)</p>

<p>Surfnetkids offers a lot of free  web content widgets (such as "Quote of the Day" and "Did You Know? Factoid") that can be easily added to your Google homepage.  You'll find the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/ig/directory?q=surfnetkids&btnG=Search+Homepage+Content">Surfnetkids Free Web Content</a> listed in the <a target="_blank"  href="http://www.google.com/ig/directory" rel="nofollow">Google Homepage Content Directory</a> by searching for "surfnetkids".   Follow the simple instructions to add them to your home page.</p>

<p>Here is a screenshot of what my personalized Google Homepage looks like with one of their fun themes and a couple of the Surfnetkids content widgets.</p>
