My Yahoo! Blog

Lots of modules? No problem!

It’s time to acknowledge my problem: I’m an information junky. Whether it’s scanning news headlines or mainlining my 99 favorite blogs, I am all over the Internet, all the time. It’s not healthy.

For the sake of my own sanity, I’ve been craving a way to keep all these sites in one place, but organized into different categories. This way, I could find what I need, when I wanted, without heavy searching or bookmarking.

I took a bold step towards that goal when I started using multiple pages on My Yahoo!. Now, I can keep all of my everyday content on the “My Front Page,” and I can categorize my favorite blogs in the extra pages (yes, like the newspaper!).

To add another page to your My Yahoo!, click on the “Add Page” button in the navigation bar just below the Search box.

You can personalize your new page too…

* Add modules and change the color and layout of your page
* Move modules between pages by dragging and dropping them onto the page name
* Rename your new page at any time by clicking on the page name

Adding another page – or even several pages – is such a quick and simple way to keep all your content organized. And if you’re a media obsessive like me, that can mean the difference between a data death spiral and information Nirvana. Try it out!

Find what you’re looking for.

Now, when you search from your My! page, Yahoo! Search Assist predicts what you’re searching for and offers you suggestions. Try searching for the word “NFL” for example.

Yahoo! Search Assist immediately gives you a list of the most popular search queries containing the word “NFL.” It’s like you’re asking your friend. A smart friend, that is. Someone who knows where to find answers to everything under the sun.

When you see what you want, just click it and Yahoo! Search Assist will fire off the search for you. It’s that simple.

Try it out!

Safari 3 support is here.

For all you Apple lovers out there, My Yahoo! now officially supports the Safari 3 browser on Macs and PCs. Enjoy!

A little more room for you.

Here’s another page option. Choose the “small search box” setting which not only reduces the size of the search box, but brings everything up a little higher on your page. Sometimes, a bit more space can make a difference…

(Personalize this page > Appearance: Searchbox size > Small)

Also, some of you who already found the small search box option wanted a timestamp at the top of the page (thanks for all the suggestion board additions and blog comments). We’ve added it for you, so now you can quickly see when your page was last updated.
