- Create Your Own Newspaper Everybody seems to offer their own "create your own personalized front page" server running now, but CRAYON was doing it while those sites were still in diapers. Our reviewer first made her own CRAYON newspaper in 1995 and she thought it was the best thing on the Internet since VAX. When you buy a paper, the first thing you do is sort through and pull out for recycling all the sections you're never going to read. CRAYON works the same way. Tell it what you like and it will deliver a single customized news page for your perusal. If you decide to print it out, you can spill coffee on it, just like your regular paper.
