Today the Main Page, tomorrow the world!

The Main Pages are the "menu" pages for Homestarrunner.com, and are one of the more interesting aspects of the site. Every time you return to the main page, a new one will load. These pages contain links to the regularly updating material of the site including the Quote of the Week, Weekly Fanstuff and the weekly Sketchbook. They also have the weeks current updates, located in the top-right corner. This reads "Go on and see what's new!" above a "bubble", rotating the updates.

The Main Pages consist of Homestar Runner standing in on the right, with "Toons", "Games", "Characters", "Downloads", "Store", and "Email" buttons to the left. Rolling-over these with the cursor makes Homestar read them aloud. Just as well, rolling-over the buttons also make certain actions appear behind Homestar Runner. These all have to do with the theme of the Main Page, as well as often making references to previous toons.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• The only Main Pages that have Homestar in his regular outfit, size, and style are Main Pages 8, 18, and 19. Of these, Main Page 18 is the only one where nothing special happens with Homestar; he merely stands at the front and says the various words.
• It took The Brothers Chaps until February 21, 2005, to change the copyright date from "2004" to "2005".
