I’m a pretty big Firefox user and I do love the browser, but there are a few things I don’t like. Basically the time it takes to launch or open a new window. It just seems to get bogged down every now and then. Safari on the other hand just pops right up. So, I’m going to try and switch to Safari and see how it goes. So far, I’m not to sure.
This week not one, but two big browsers made major upgrades. I’ve gotten a change to play with both and I think everyone is on the right track, some just a wee bit behind.
IE7 has been a long time coming. I think they said IE6 was released 5 years ago or so? Anyways, the new IE seems to be better. I’ve been running it on my Mac (via Parallels) and it seems to be on the right track. It’s got transparent PNG support (finally), RSS support, tabs and I think it seems to work with the CSS :hover property too! All steps in the right direction but it seems like it could make things worse before it makes them better.
The Social Bookmark Creator plugin got a major update, much like the Chicklet Creator did a few weeks ago.
The Wordpress plugin now includes an admin page for managing your social bookmark options and database integration to remember your choices.
Social Bookmark Creator plugin works with almost 50 different social bookmarking services including:
Announcing updates to the Chicklet Creator and the Social Bookmark Creator.
The updated blog tools include a new layout, more buttons and a few added features. One of the big additions is the drop down menus. You can now create a CSS drop down menu to hold all your feed buttons, or you can create a social bookmark pop-up menu just like the one above.
I’ve been making some blog design modifications and I’d love to hear your feedback.
Updates include:
I have checked in most browsers and it appears to be working fine. Some oddities in IE but then again I haven’t seen my blog on XP. Blog on a Stick is optimized for browsers that work with the web standards. That’s pretty much everything except IE. 
Flock is an up-and-comming web browser. Based on Firefox’s rendering engine and having quite a few of the same qualities, Flock should be a contender as it works it’s way towards 1.0. However it has some good and some not so good qualities.
You know what a folder is but what is a tag?
For those that are just jumping into the blog world, or the Web 2.0 world for that matter, there is a new idea out there called tagging. Much like folders or categories, it’s a way of keeping things organized.
Lets start out simple with folders.
On your computer you have folders. Maybe a documents folder for paperwork, pictures folder for pictures and so on. You’ve probably even created your own folders. “Christmas 2005″ or “Work Documents” The idea is to keep your files organized on your hard drive. Simple enough.
I’ve been social booking sites for a while now. I started with Furl and have tried many different services. Spurl is my favorite, however, del.icio.us seems to be the site of choice in the mainstream. Now I say mainstream loosely as social bookmarking is not known or understood my many, however those that do know it, usually use del.icio.us.
I did use del.icio.us for a while, but I didn’t feel it was as search engine friendly as each link has a no-follow tag associated with it. So I switched. However, as I just returned from PubCon, it seems a lot of people seem to use del.icio.us more than any other social bookmark site for finding information. So, I thought that I needed to re-discover del.icio.us and make sure that people were finding my site.
