Most of the users who are just starting to master the Internet, first go to the Yandex search engine, since it is known even to those people who have never been at a computer and have never used it on their own. Perhaps it’s actually easier for beginners to get used to the Yandex search engine. But if we conduct simple analytics, then we can confidently say that most professional users set the most popular site in our country as their homepage, and now we are talking about Yandex. In fact, on the main page of the search engine you can find almost all the necessary information: traffic jams, weather, TV shows, the latest news and much more. In addition to the main Yandex service, the search engine, there are a number of other services. This is mail, video, music, pictures and even a personal electronic wallet. At the same time, in the Yandex system, each user, if necessary, can set personal settings for his requirements. However, there are some difficulties. Not everyone, especially for beginners, knows where to find Yandex personal settings, so today we decided to make out this topic.
Appearance
If you have already visited the Yandex start page, then you probably could notice that it consists of special blocks that allow you to quickly find what you really need. Although, if you wish, you can remove these blocks or choose only the most necessary ones without any problems. So where are the personal settings in Yandex? To do this, you should hover over the very top of the page where a special
drop-down list is activated
. It is there that you can click on the “Personal settings” line, after that four more options will appear, each of which contains special settings, we’ll talk about them now.
Yandex: personal settings and their blocks
The first item to set up the Yandex system implies the most ordinary drag and drop, or rather, with this drag you can replace blocks yourself, while you can remove unnecessary ones by simply clicking on the cross located in the upper corner of each block. Also for each block there are individual settings. To do this, select the button that looks like a gear. For example, you can select only a few TV programs that will be displayed in the block, and all the rest will simply be deleted.
In fact, if you begin to understand all the intricacies, you can quickly understand how the start page is configured. Yandex is not difficult to master, the main thing is to show due attention, and everything will work out. When you determine your region, as well as place of residence, then the weather block will be displayed only for your region, and you can immediately find out this information by visiting the start page. Be sure to remember an important point: after making all the adjustments, you will need to click the "Save" button, this is necessary so that your settings are saved, and after reloading the Yandex main page, they remain valid. It is also worth immediately taking into account one more point: if you are not registered with the services, in particular, with regard to the mailbox, then your settings will only work for the browser in which you installed them, but we recommend that you pre-register and only then start making settings .
Correspondence
On the Yandex.Mail service, you can also make personal settings. It is possible to change the subject, determine what letters you want to receive, configure the rights and your signature for the letters that you will send. You can also use the full or simplified version, it all depends on the speed of your Internet. If you already have your account, then before you start the setup, you will need to be logged in. After setting and saving the parameters, all of them will already act personally for your account, and it does not matter at all what computer you will be working on and in which place. Personalizing the Yandex page is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Widgets
Let's now analyze the second type of settings, which is called "Add widget." With its help, you can install on the main page those widgets that you find necessary. In fact, Yandex regularly replenishes widgets, and there is a large number of a wide variety of options that are aimed at increased usability of the service. However, if you do not want to add anything else, then you can simply skip this type of settings. In the Yandex system, Personal Settings includes many additional subsections, so you may get confused. But this is only the first time, then quickly figure it out.
Personal data
The third setting item involves installing an individual theme, while you can develop it yourself, of course, if you can not choose anything from the provided templates, of which there are a lot.
Location
The fourth paragraph invites us to establish our location. If you want to see the exact time, as well as the weather, then you definitely need to specify these settings.
Now you know how to optimize the Yandex service for yourself, the personal settings of which we have reviewed.
