Firefox set-up

My Firefox was acting buggy, so I reinstalled it today which means I also needed to reinstall the Add-ons to make life on the web easier.




Here's my list of add-ons/extensions:

  1. For any user of Firefox, I recommend Adblock - if you get tired of seeing all the ads
  2. Colorzilla - for a handy eyedropper to sample colour on web pages, which copies the formula to your clipboard so you can paste the value in another program
  3. Empty cache - for a quick button instead of digging into your preferences every time
  4. Firebug - for web designers who are inspecting elements
  5. SEO site tools - I haven't used this before, so I'm going to see how it performs
  6. Wave - for web designers in Ontario who want to test their pages for AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act) accessibility
  7. Web Developer - for web designers - a great batch of tools
What addons do you use and love?

Wedding shower invite

I recently designed this wedding shower invite so that I could get 4-up on an 8.5x11" sheet of paper. Cost-effective, and easy to print!

Adding automatic date to website footer

I added this little script to my website footer so now the date will never need to be updated again. Yay!

<script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script>
