Bashō 梅 (ume) Haiku 芭蕉の俳句
At www.aule-browser.com/kanji/poets/basho-ume.html I have first the Basho haiku opening with the double morae "ume" and then those in which 梅 occurs (either as relating to plum or some related image.)
The page is a Curl® applet embedded in HTML for Kanji study and review.
JavaScript is used to detect whether the Curl Surge® RTE (runtime engine) is installed as a browser plugin ...
... otherwise the pages a free of ad's, extraneous links and other such nuisances.

Basho Haiku in one JSON file
I have added a JSON kanji file: http://kanji.aule-browser/json/basho-a-za.json
The file has all of the Bashō haiku in a JSON format grouped by opening mora.
Each object is a poem in kanji, then kana (Hiragana), romaji and finally source info.

Bashō haiku poems in an Aule Page
A first Aule Page of Bashō haiku poems: HTML-only but asking for HanaMinA font of the Hanazono Mincho font project for Japanese Kanji and kana.
The aule-page is safe to copy and the source is wikisource.org with poems from opening mora of ABURA to AYU.
The page rows for each haiku poem are first kanji, then hiragana and finally romaji with notes.

Joyo Kanji Meaning
Over at http://aule-browser.com/kanji/index.html I have added an option to select a view of joyo kanji graphcally.
You don't have to ask yourself which page you preferred if you can recognize the layout of the page or its font or other features such as stroke order animation or stroke order diagram or whether or not the meanings were hidden until selected with the mouse.
There are 3 new views today using alternative sort-order 2 and 3.

HTML-Only Kanji Stroke Order Pages
Over at kanji.aule-browser.com I have added a safe Aule Page.
The web page has romaji, kanji, kana and links to safe stroke order diagrams by Jim Rose.
An Aule Page is a safe page - either to run with the Curl runtime or to copy to a local PC, laptop or netbook. The pages run as well on MAc and Linux as Windows.
There are no advertisements and no JavaScript or other scripting.
There are no links to commercial or other such sites - just HTML with a local CSS stylesheet.
This Aule Page links to 3 other HTML-only Aule Pages for romaji with links to kanji stroke order diagrams.
Here is a snapshot of the linking HTML-only page:
The other 2 page links are below the example from the first page.
Kanji study pages should be safe to copy to a home PC and these are safe. A simple view of the page source will show you all that is there: well-formatted HTML and CSS styling.
Once on your own machine, you can adjust the page and its contents to your liking.

romaji + Kanji + kana (English visible on mouse drag)
At my romaji-Kanji-kana dictionary page Aule Page for stroke order diagrams, you can now drag the mouse after the dot to see the English meanings from Kanjidic2:
If you copy this HTML to be a local home page, you can make a variant with a change to the "engl" SPAN stylesheet definition so as to make the English visible for quicker review or for neophytes, tyros or simply to 趂.

Aule Page for romaji gets kana update
The romaji aule page is evolving to include both kanji and kana as characters and not GIF's.
I have added a contrasting background for images until they are replaced by utf-8 kanji characters.
Aule: a safe entry point; a wall around a home; a secured entry
Aule Page: a minimalist home page, often local, in HTML or Curl (www.curl.com or www.curlap.com) without JavaScript or Flash.
aule page: A top-specific web page intended to be a direct link from a personal home page
(usually local)
aule-browser a Curl wrapper for an HTML engine intended for viewing safe pages
aule-browser: a secure Curl web entry for viewing an HTML or a Curl web page

joyo romaji aule
At aule-browser I am building an Aule Page for the romaji for joyo kanji at about.com
The kanji following the romaji are links to Jim Rose stroke-order GIF's.
I am in the process of replacing the GIF Kanji on the Aule Page with utf-8 characters.
The aule page is mobile and iTouch friendly.
The following snapshot will give you a good idea of just how clean an Aule page is intended to be (it is JavaScript-free):
You get a glimpse of the gold kanji at the bottom; these are slowly replacing the blue GIF's in the Aule Page version of the cluttered alternative web site's page.
This safe and secure aule page scrolls best in the Opera app on my iTouch (Safari is so often problematic despite being the source of WebKit browsers such as Chrome.)
The snapshot includes one example of two entries for the same Kanji being combined into a one line entry.
When complete, I will make an alternative with a default local font, although I prefer the Hanazono Mincho font.

Kanji Font Option
I have run http://aule-browser.com/kanji/kanjidic2-joyo-hz-2.html through a regexp to set a span around the Japanese joyo kanji English definitions so that you can download the page and set your own "dfn" style for a local version of your own.
At the moment I am using Garamond for the English meanings, but I am open to suggestions. The kanji remain in HanaminA from the Hanazono Mincho font project.
The page is just HTML+CSS (no JavaScript) so no need for a snapshot here - just stop by and see if it looks useful.
Each day I re-arrange the order of the kanji somewhat.
If you would like a page with fewer meanings from Kanjidic2 or have an alternate meaning to suggest, just leave a comment or mail robertATaule-browser.com

Kanji at my local home Aule Page
I just added two new joyo kanji pages over at aule-browser.com/kanji but my links from my own aule-page are different.
The reason is that I re-write the server pages as local pages. The Curl pages at the server run fine off-line, but I can improve some of the HTML by moving pages to being local.
Here is what my local home page or "Aule Page" looks like these days:
To see the details, here is a JPG and here is a PNG image.
I like being able to type in the text area because on Firefox, the Perapera plugin will translate any Kanji that I paste into it when I am on-line. Some of those compound kanji become part of the default text in that text area. On Firefox 12, the text area can be re-sized!!
To see the textarea resized, check out this JPG or this PNG. Below is a snap:

Seven Degrees From Home
Over at my Joyo Kanji page there are now links across some dictionary entries.
For example, there are seven links looping a chain through "house" (but not yet the counters for houses, or greenhouse or warehouse or castle ...)
If you have the Hanazono Mincho font already installed, the page will load promptly as the CSS stylesheet is now set to look for a local font first.

Joyo Kanji Journey
Over at my jōyō kanji (2010) page with the HanaMinA font, I have started subtle changes in the first chapter of their series (so to speak.)
A linear series of over 2000 kanji dictionary entries is not quite as limiting as it might seem.
Can you start a story at the top and continue down with the tale?
If you make your own snapshot of the page, you can improve on the arrangement to your own liking. Then rearrange the page of kanji-only. Aha!
N.B. On your own web versions, please credit the Kanjidic2 project where appropriate.

Sample Aule Home Page Page
Here is an example of an Aule Home Page in IE 8:
In this example, the browser URL address field has not been suppressed.
In an Aule-Browser it might not exist at all.
The sample is running on aule-browser.com with a few additional features.

NetVibes: Google passwords in personalized web portal
Personalized web home pages should provide you with a secure, useful, stable and reliable portal or dashboard. They should remove the need to type the same URL address each day and the risk of an address typo - especially as we now see top-level URL changes coming where .con could become as comon as .com and .edi be a .edu typing error.
NetVibes from France is one of many current providers of what should be a personal web page.
It is not.
A personal web page builder would allow you to choose email provider links, such as a link to www.gmail.com – but instead NetVibes offers a widget to hold your Google Mail ID and password. No thanks. My browser no longer is doing that, why would I have your widget store the same private content on your server?
A corporation using a home page builder would likely not want personal GMAIL in the mix at all - let alone passwords stored on a NetVibes server. But apparently they are doing so.
Another service recently asked me to turn on Java in the browser on my net book. No thanks.
One answer lies in a secure client-side web technology – such as is offered by www.curl.com – and using a framework in which the "builder" provider does not know where the user stores either that page template or widget field contents such as Google Mail ID and password. The challenge is to make the portal available to the user across multiple devices - and to restrict it to the company domain and the company-issued mobile device went that is corporate policy.
That challenge can be met at the expense of a few more steps in setup and the use of a user-selected trusted third-party who is at arms-length from the "builder" service. The latter need not know which trusted repository was selected.
Curl on the desktop is quite adequate to the challenge - but Curl 7.0 does not yet have a mobile solution.
This is not to minimize the challenge - as can be seen by the case of HushMail in Canada and their use of Java in the browser.

Ἀλκιβιάδου [ was heard out in the ] αὐλῇ
In Plato's Symposium, Alcibiades is heard in the "fore court" or αὐλῇ whereas in Esther the king's servants are said to be in the king's gate or aule.
The sheep might also be brought within the confines of the aule at night.
At Heidelberg there remains die alte Aula Universität Heidelberg.
In Spanish, where boys once gathered in the courtyard with there slates, the classrooms are aula.

Bookmarks, Tags and Mind-Maps
One reason for a custom homepage is that bookmarks are not an adequate alternative. Most users will accumulate too many untagged bookmarks for the bulk of those bookmarks to do more than slow down the startup of their browser or slowdown the time it takes to open bookmarks or to create a bookmark.
A genuine alternative to a custom home page is to mind-map or concept-map those bookmarks with a separate application - browsers do not offer mind-mapping as a bookmarking feature.
A less appealing alternative is to use a "personal" page at a service such as Yahoo.
A bookmarking web service such as delicious can be used as an alternative - and delicious bookmarks can be mind-mapped - but I find that delicious is just one of many useful links that I want on my home page.
My own home page offers immediate links to two other local home pages on my netbook - they come up even before my wireless connection is reestablished. One local page is for things whose nexus is Aule browsers and the other is specifically for the Curl programming language and other languages useful for the web: Rebol, Icon, Logtalk, Oz, Smalltalk, JavaScript.
One thing distinctive about my home page is that it allows me to select a wikipedia search by language so that my search can begin at a Russian or a Spanish page instead of my usual French,English or German choices for fr.wikipedia.org or the en or de options. There is also a link to freebase and to page which is itself a good jumping off point with many links to the topic of RDF.
