Sage: a feed reader for Firefox

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

Back in my (not so long ago) IE days, I was using Pluck as an RSS reader. I liked it, it was handy. Now that I switched to Firefox, I had to find something for RSS. Nice thing about Firefox, there are a lot of plugins available.

Sage seems to fit the bill. It has a sidebar for the feeds like Pluck did in IE. So far, so good. If you use Firefox (you do use Firefox, don’t you?), Sage would be a nice plugin to add. If you know of a better RSS reader for Firefox, let me know.

Sometimes Ironic

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

I was about to post yesterday about BrowseHappy. I had been meaning to for sometime, then yesterday I had the urge to post about it. Then, for whatever reason, I didn’t. So what about that is ironic?

It seems that yesterday, an announcement was made by the Web Standards Project (another fabulous site, by the way) with the headline

BrowseHappy Now Part of WordPress as WaSP Refocuses Mission

Appearently, WaSP felt that BrowseHappy compromised its position by infering a lack of neutrality toward various browsers. That makes sense to me, since BrowseHappy really promotes Mozilla browsers (and specifically, IMO, Firefox). So…

to make a long story short WordPress.org will be taking Browse Happy under its wing by continuing hosting the site and keeping it current with the latest trends and information.

Web Developer Extention

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

If you are a web developer of any sort, you need Chris Pederick’s Web Developer extention for Firefox. (WHAT? You’re not using Firefox? Ok, then, you need to back up and get Firefox.)

If you have Firefox installed, go to Chris’ site and get the Web Developer extention. I honestly do not know how I survived this long without it.

Some of the things it makes easy and quick:

  • Displays anchors
  • Displays cookies
  • View HTTP Headers
  • Validate CSS & HTML
  • And a whole lot MORE!!!

This is the best, most worthwhile extention I have seen EVER! I would go so far as to say that it’s probably the most usable tool for a Web Developer.

Get it here. And don’t say I never gave you anything.

Thanks Chris!
