I just stumbled across an amazing new plugin for Firefox called ScribeFire - I’m using it right now actually!
This plugin allows you to blog right from your browser window without having to go to your site, sign in and navigate to the ‘create new post’ area. It has already saved me so much time I can’t believe that more people aren’t talking about this one!
Here’s a rundown of how it works:
You login to your blogging platform via the account wizard and choose which platform your blog is using (it currently supports Wordpress, Blogger.com, TypePad, LiveJournal, Windows Live Spaces and a few more). Enter all your blog details and your login info and that’s it! You can then tart blogging away to your heart’s content from right within firefox itself.
Browsing through the web and come across a great website or resource? Blog about it instantly!
Get this amazing plugin here from Mozilla Addons - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1730
You won’t regret it!

The best way of learning how to do something is to see someone do it first! I firmly belive that it’s much easier to learn from a video or demonstration then by reading an article or book. These videos cover a wide range of topics from graphic and web design to web development and coding; they really aren’t as boring as they sound! I hope you have a good notebook or editor open to jot down some notes from these videos!

I can’t tell you how ecstatic I am right now!
I have finally found a reliable way to force Internet Explorer to behave as it should and display web pages the way they were intended! No more worrying about IE hacks or seperate CSS files, no more conditional statements to keep track of throughout your code.
Just in case you’re wondering what the heck I’m going on about - It’s an amazing set of javascript codes that control IE to the nth degree,essentially forcing it to behave like IE7.
Written by Dean Edwards, IE7 is simple to implement and covers a wide range of IE faults.
Ok so it’s a partial victory - but a victory nonetheless!

So I heve a huge collection of saved playlists over at YouTube from when I was first learning - I love learning from video - and I thought that I would share these playlists with you!
These are videos may not be for the experienced or intermediate marketer (we have other information in here for you and soon we’ll be offering you even more!). But they are amazing for people who are just starting out or need to brush up on the fundamentals.
So grab a drink and kick back, a notebook is always good to jot down any ideas you may have and start watching!

What do you think about the subscribe buttons on this site?
I always wondered where people got that nice list of buttons that offer you more than one way to subscribe to their feed and today I finally found the simplest answer to that question!
Below is a screenshot of the many services you can add to your list (but of course don’t go too crazy, sometimes less is more and if you haven’t heard of them you probably shouldn’t have it on your site!)
The tool is located on the TopRank Blog at http://www.toprankblog.com/tools/rss-buttons/
Not only can you choose between the number of options and images you display but you can also select your method of output. You decide whether you want to host the images and code on your own website or if you just want to simplify it and use their premade links. An added plus is the ability to customize the links to your specific blogging or cms platform, definitely handy if you’re not totally sure what you’re doing!
Check it out today! Cheers!
