The navigation bar is visible at the bottom of the index page , as well as most pages on homestarrunner.com .
The navigation bar (abbreviated as NavBar) is a menu that appears in the footer of almost every page on the website. This bar provides links to the most commonly accessed sections of the website. As of 2025, the NavBar consists of:

The NavBar is made out of HTML assets, rather than Flash as used for most prior iterations and site content.
History
Original NavBar
Original NavBar options
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:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails contact legal stuff
The random toon function was added after "legal stuff" (which was shortened to "legal" to make room) sometime between August 18 and 22, 2005:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails contact legal rando
A link to Podstar Runner was added between "sb emails" and "contact" on March 1, 2007:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails podcast contact legal rando
"Podcast" was replaced with a "subscribe" link to the FeedBurner RSS feed between October 22 and 27, 2009:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails subscribe contact legal rando
The "store" text color was changed to red sometime between January 17 and 21, 2010 (around the time the "shop our store" button was added to the index page); this was reverted between April 1 and 4, 2010:
main toons games characters downloads store sb emails subscribe contact legal rando
"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:

The current NavBar menu
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 on December 31 of that year. This Navbar is made out of HTML assets, in contrast with prior iterations being Flash files.
