CSS Trick Links

CSS Techniques Roundup - 20 CSS Tips & Tricks - Nice collection of css tips. Had use for one this evening:

In firefox if you float a div inside a container div, the container div will not wrap around the enclosed div. Solution: A clearing div.

Screengrab Entire WebPage

I've seen a few pieces of software for capturing an entire webpage screengrab for the mac, but now thanks to this handy firefox plugin I can get the entire screen grab on my pc using my default browser firefox.

I simply right click a web page and hit "save document as image" which saves the screen grab as a .png file. Here's a picture of the this blogs homepage (which I updated the layout this past weekend)... not a very practical example but you get the idea:

Ftp clients aren't that sexy, however I've recently switched to FileZilla and love it.

No bugs, long connections times (I thought this was a fault of my host?), and I believe it's made by the Firefox folks.

FireFox Extentions

I just started installing some FireFox extensions, fun!

I also installed greasemonkey and a few others.

Here's a large list of firefox extensions to peruse.

SEO Scoop has the links to the greasemonkey scripts that make No-Follow links visible in firefox.

Got Firefox

Made FireFox my default browser today. Themes are very nice, however I still prefer "Open in New Window" instead of tabbed browsing.

Welcome to this century Mark!

GreaseMonkey

Jwalk posted some GreaseMonkey links, looks interesting.

And here's how to disable GreaseMonkey.
