Feel free to copy and paste the following tip in an email to your users:
Personalize your Start Page
—————————
Your Start Page can keep you updated on everything that’s
important to you: incoming email, weather forecasts, cheap
flights, to-do lists, instant messaging, lists of your active
Google Docs, recipes, and more. Once you’re signed in to the Start
Page, click ‘Add stuff’ on the right side and enter a search topic
or feed URL. You can easily add information from your favorite websites
by searching by keyword or browsing popular gadgets. The majority of
Google Gadgets are created by third-party developers and are
designed to deliver news, useful tools and other types of
information directly to your Start Page. You can add as many
gadgets as you’d like!
Do you have your own Google Apps tip? Join the community of Google
Apps users and tell them about it. To share your tip, or browse
tips from other users, visit the "Best Practices" section
(http://groups.google.com/group/hosted-mail-delivery/topics) of

Add a Google site search engine to your website
Google site search solutions
