			Prior to the implementation of the navbar, a pop-up menu was embedded in old toons and pages (such as the [[Yearbook Character Page]], where it can still be seen), revealed by mousing over the bottom of the toon frame. This used similar "bubble" graphics to the main pages:

The navigation bar is visible at the bottom of the [[Index Page|index page]], as well as most pages on [[homestarrunner.com]].

</div>
The '''navigation bar''' (abbreviated as '''NavBar''') is a menu that appears in the footer of almost every page on [[homestarrunner.com|the website]]. This bar provides links to the most commonly accessed sections of the website. As of 2025, the NavBar consists of:

<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Index Page|(h*r logo)]] [[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sbemails]] [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games]] [[Store|stores]] [[Email|contact]] [[Sitemap|sitemap]]</span>

The NavBar is made out of HTML assets, rather than [[Flash]] as used for most prior iterations and site content.

A navigation bar was first implemented on the site in 2003. Originally constructed out of HTML text, it was rebuilt as a Flash component in July 2004. This initial iteration of the menu consisted of:<br />
<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Handheld Games Menu|games]] [[Character Videos|characters]] [[Downloads|downloads]] [[Flash Store|store]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sb emails]] [[Email|contact]] [[Legal|legal stuff]]</span>

The [[Random Toon|random toon]] function was added after "legal stuff" (which was shortened to "legal" to make room) sometime between August 18 and 22, 2005:<br />
<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games]] [[Character Videos|characters]] [[Downloads|downloads]] [[Yahoo Store|store]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sb emails]] [[Email|contact]] [[Legal|legal]] [[Random Toon|rando]]</span>

A link to [[Podstar Runner]] was added between "sb emails" and "contact" on March 1, 2007:<br />
<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games]] [[Character Videos|characters]] [[Downloads|downloads]] [[Yahoo Store|store]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sb emails]] [[Podstar Runner|podcast]] [[Email|contact]] [[Legal|legal]] [[Random Toon|rando]]</span>

"Podcast" was replaced with a "subscribe" link to the [[FeedBurner Page|FeedBurner RSS feed]] between October 22 and 27, 2009:<br />
<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games]] [[Character Videos|characters]] [[Downloads|downloads]] [[Yahoo Store|store]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sb emails]] [[FeedBurner Page|subscribe]] [[Email|contact]] [[Legal|legal]] [[Random Toon|rando]]</span>

The "store" text color was changed to red sometime between January 17 and 21, 2010 (around the time [[File:Intro decision page with store.png|the "shop our store" button]] was added to the [[Index Page|index page]]); this was reverted between April 1 and 4, 2010:<br />
<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games]] [[Character Videos|characters]] [[Downloads|downloads]] [[Yahoo Store|store]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sb emails]] [[FeedBurner Page|subscribe]] [[Email|contact]] [[Legal|legal]] [[Random Toon|rando]]</span>

"Subscribe" was replaced by a link to the [[homestarrunnerdotcom]] [[YouTube]] channel between March 9 and April 2, 2015. This was the final iteration of the original NavBar:<br />
<span class="hovul" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica">[[Main Pages|main]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|toons]] [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games]] [[Character Videos|characters]] [[Downloads|downloads]] [[Store|store]] [[Strong Bad Email Menu|sb emails]] [[homestarrunnerdotcom|youtube]] [[Email|contact]] [[Legal|legal]] [[Random Toon|rando]]</span>

The modern NavBar redesign was first seen December 20, 2020, on the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] page after its Version 8.0 update — it was applied to the entire site [[Post-Flash Site Update|on December 31]] of that year. This Navbar is made out of HTML assets, in contrast with prior iterations being Flash files.<br />

On April 16, 2025, a link to the [[Sitemap|sitemap]] was added; this coincided with the 25th-anniversary toon [[Back To A Website]].<br />
