Abstract

Generally described, a method and system of customizing and personalizing a home page are provided. The method includes means for defining the appearance, layout and behavior of a network computing environment home page upon access by a user. The method also provides for increased portability of a user experience from one computing access environment to another. A centralized hub of relevant information resources is provided to make users more productive through ease of access and automatic delivery of time-sensitive information. Accordingly, users can integrate sources of pertinent information into their daily routines, essentially creating “personal channels”.
