I’ve upgraded the DIY “iGoogle” start page.
You can see the latest version here: http://nbe.me/demo

The major enhancement is that you can now embed html into the page – which makes it easy to add Youtube videos, or iFrame widgets.
To add embed code, click on Setup and add a new widget with a type of “html”. In the “data uri” field, paste your embed code. For example, to add a youtube video, you’d paste this code into the “data uri” field:
<iframe width="320" height=auto src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DPP1INgPtSs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Make sure you keep the width of any iframes to 320 pixels or less, otherwise the layout of the screen won’t look too good.
Also – if you’re trying out the demo page, you might want to press Ctrl-F5 to clear your browser cache, so the new version gets loaded.
