Habbo Homes are your own personal space within Habbo which to a certain extent you can customise it as much as you want. Every Habbo who registers on the hotel will get a Habbo Home. Your homepage will start with some stickers and notes telling you what to do but you can purchase more of these in the webstore, along with widgets. Getting to someone's Home Page Firstly, to get to someones Habbo Home, you can click on their Habbo and press the 'Homepage' button and their Homepage will open in a new window. If you have someone on your friends list and want to view their page, you can find them on your list and click the little image on the right and as before, it will open in a new window. Alternatively, you can type www.habbo.co.uk/home/personsnamehere to go to their homepage. To view your own Homepage just click the "My Page' tab on the homepage.
Stickers One of the best ways to enhance your homepage is with stickers. There is a huge selection of them ranging from moainly 1-5 credits. Not only is there a large handful on offer throughout the year, more are released at special occasions such as Christmas and Valentines, these are often free or a frew credits. Habbo Staff also run competitions and quests in which you can win stickers, some of these include Disarno's ideal Homes (Now 0rca's Whale of a Home') and a Keep it real campaign. Widgets You can place many different widgets on your homepage, some have great reason to exist, others are pretty much pointless. To place a widget on your homepage simply enter edit mode, click Inventory, then Widgets and chose the one you wish to place. All widgets are free to place, there is one widget which cannot be removed from your page, that is the 'My Profile' widget. Below is a list of current widgets and what they offer.

Every Homepage comes with 5 default backgrounds, though these are very boring - monotone with dimples here and there. There are also 3 HC backgrounds which come free with your membership. Not only this, there is another 50 backgrounds in the Web Store!
Notes Each Homepage comes equipped with 3 free notes upon starting, if you require any more after you have used these free gifts, you can purchase 5 more for an astonishing 2 credits!
Skins Another great feature of Habbo homepages is that you can change the skins on your widgets. You can adapt these to suit your background, stickers or maybe even you have a special theme going on. Using different skins is completely free! Below is a list of the skins you can use.

Tags
A great way to find friends is using the Tags System. This enabled users to add tags about various things to link to their personality and then other users can search for these tags to find Habbos with similar interests. You can add tags on the My Profile widget on your Homepage, you can search tags by using the 'Search for tags' box near the top, from any page you are viewing! Coding Another great feature is being able to use types of coding in notes and guestbooks. These allow you to make your writing bold, italic, underlined and even allow you to quote things, such as what was said at dinner last night. You can make your writing big or small, enter a code and even add a link! There are also ways to add a link to a room, Habbos or even groups by just typing in a name, clicking find and choosing the one you want! Notes can now have 500 letters, including coding rather than the 200 it was before. You can also use colours in your writing, including Orange, Green and Black! Editing It wouldn't be very good if you couldn't edit your page would it, good job you can in which you can place widgets, change the background, place stickers and notes, as well as moving what you want, where you want! By entering edit mode, you will be able to access your inventory which will show all of the stickers and widgets you have available to place, and get access to the webstore in which you can but more things to add to your page! In this mode you can also change the skins of your widgets. Tell a friend By telling a friend about Habbo Hotel, you will receive a shiny, spinning diamond to place on your Homepage, you will only get this is the person you invited registers on the Hotel and you will only get a reward once from each e-mail address. If they do register, they will also get the option to be added to your friends list, so look out for new names on your list! Little Tricks If you double click the Habbo's head on the 'My Profile widget', everything on the page will start to whirl around! Many Habbos make it so you can't rate their Homepage anything below 5, there is a simple way around this - simply press Show Report Buttons near the top of the page and all stickers will be temporarily hidden, allowing you to rate their page anything from 1-5.
