I made this yesterday, figured some of you might like the idea.

For several years now, my homepage in IE has been The Washington Post. The idea was that I would get some news every day, even if I didn't actively seek it out. The problem was that if I was lazy, and didn't seek out news elsewhere, I only saw what the WP reported.

So yesterday, I made this very simple HTML file that uses JavaScript to randomize going to a particular site. I chose four news sites. I set this file as my homepage in IE so that now when I start up IE, I go to one of four news sites at random.

It's really, really simple, but I find it useful. Editing it for your needs should be straightforward.</div>
