I just went to My Google and discovered I could add a theme. This one is called Tea House... so cute!!! I love the fox in the boat.
If you input your location, it will change dynamically based on what time of day it is! Those Google people are crafty!
anyone know where to go to change the theme? I'd love to try it out, but I can't find it anywhere. :)
ReplyDeleteOriginally Google was the no-frills but really powerful search engine. Witness the search page that for the longest time (in tech terms) stayed vanilla while the other search engines (MSN, Excite, Altavista) became portals and cluttered everything up.
ReplyDeleteBut your lovely screenshot of your google homepage make me want to set up. Some things are too adorable to pass on.
it's lovely, but I don't find how to change the theme. Can you tell me?....please?....
ReplyDeletethanks!

There's a "select theme" link in the upper right side of the page next to "add stuff"
ReplyDeleteThe Tea house is my favorite, not only is it cute but it changes the most during the day. So at lunch he's eating lunch, later he'll be feeding the ducks etc .etc.
ReplyDeleteThat link for 'select a theme' didn't show up for me right away. What I had to do was select "Personalize" or something to that effect, I added some features (Like news, sports, etc.) then when I went back to the homepage, the link showed up. Sort of a backwards way of finding it, but hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteI heard a blurb about that on the radio the other day and totally forgot to check it out. Thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeletespeaking of themes, jenny, it's officially spring! looking forward to your spring banner! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool and cute! I just put the cityscape on my homepage :)
ReplyDeleteHeh, I discovered this a couple of days ago, but had ignored the Tea House theme until you mentioned it - I'm glad you did, it's super cute, thanks! :) I hope Google will keep going with the themes thing, it's a great idea. Have a wonderful spring!
ReplyDeleteI went and picked the beach theme. Mostly because the "seasonal theme" was still winter. I guess I have to get out and go to a maple farm tomorrow. It is a big deal here in Vermont this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteI have that same theme. Did you read about the easter eggs? Here's the link just in case you haven't.
