It was not an easy thing to do, but I am satisfied and happy with the results. I present to you my very own, completely 100 percent personalized, starting home page for the Steem Block Chain.

The Menu bar

This was a very difficult thing for me to figure out. I wanted a fixed at the top of the page menu bar. I have always hated the disappearing menu bars because of page scrolling. It is fixed in place and I am one hundred percent happy with it.

As you can see this is a drop down menu. With two accounts and so far five communities I needed an easy way to keep up with them all. This method I think will work best for me for now. I have grown pretty used to having the wallet choice on the right side of the menu from steemit, so I have my wallets listed to the right also. This was a pretty good sized headache to accomplish. There are so many little typo's that can be made and so many different ways to accomplish the same thing. I am surprised my menu works.

The Header

Now this was a supersized headache to get over. Days and days, of trying to figure out why part of it was hidden behind the menu bar. It just would not sit at the bottom of the menu bar. I almost gave up, but I did keep looking. I moved on to a few other things like the cool text effect in my header, and then boom, I found why. I needed to reset the margin for the header so it would ignore the part that the Menu Bar was using. A simple one line fix. Along with the text effect I found another nice header effect the twin lines at the bottom of the header border. For now I think my header will remain pictureless. I do know how to add a picture if I want to.

The Main Body

The main body consist of three columns with the center column being the largest. in the left column I have my feeds. Sometimes one account or the other just can not find enough to vote and comment on or content to consume, so now it is easy for me to support people that I follow in one account and not the other. I will be adding to this list for content hunting in the future based on the communities I follow.

Since deciding to go with a three column set up I have been unsure of what to use the larger middle column for. Then I remembered a conversation I had about wanting a coin book to show off all the tokens I own, well I stepped that down a little bit and decided to highlight these ones for now. _{Obligatory source quote: All token images came from the respective token issuers pages.} I hope that is enough, I did alter slightly the sports talk one so it had a transparent background.

The right column I am planning on using it for bookmarks that I sometimes have a hard time finding, My bookmarks are pretty much a mess on my computer, and I do not have that great of a filing system developed, never have. So for now these are the two most important.

The Footer

I decided to forgo the footer for now. But I did find how to make all kinds of cool changes to the <hr>. That thick blue bar at the bottom is a fancied up <hr>.

Well that is it for this learning journey. I am happy and satisfied, and I now have a nice start page and the ability to keep it updated as things and links change. The Steem Block Chain is growing, and the social aspect of it is really beginning to take off. I am liking all the new communities as a consumer it is and will continue to be easier to find the type content I like and enjoy, and as an occasional poster a few more tags to use.
