You can also add new sections to the main page to customize the types of news that you wish to see there. However, Yahoo doesn't provide any undo functionality so you can't compare your unchanged Yahoo homepage with your new Yahoo homepage. Create a duplicate homepage on Yahoo using Internet Explorer so you can make quick comparisons by simply changing tabs.
Yahoo Messenger's "IMVironments" allow you to change the look and feel of your Yahoo Messenger conversation window. When you choose an IMVironment, you create a new conversation window that will have a different background (and sometimes music) related to that IMVironment. Unfortunately, only Yahoo and its partners can design new IMVironments, so you'll have to choose from the generic selections rather than designing your own custom IMVironment.

According to JP Morgan, as of January 2010, Yahoo! had the world's largest share of online search advertising. When a small business advertises with Yahoo!, the advertisement shows up on Web searches performed by potential customers. When a customer clicks on the advertisement, she is directed to the business' homepage where she can purchase the small business' goods or services. Setting up an advertising account with Yahoo! is quick and easy. With an afternoon's work, a small business can be advertising online the next day.
