WordPress Wednesday: Press This Tool

The more I learn about WordPress the more I realize I have to learn. The “Press This” tool is quite a tool, to not have to think about logging into your site in order to do a quick post may be exactly what is needed to get your blogging habit back on track.

For my bookmarks toolbar I use Xmarks which you can sync across computers and different browsers. Hmm, I”m sensing another tutorial….

Thanks to Andy Traub for introducing me to this cool little tool!

Moving from Firefox to Chrome

I have been a diehard Firefox fan for a long time. It is completely decked out with just about everything I needed within reach of a click of the mouse. It did everything I wanted it to do….

First my HTML signature plugin stopped working….

My Facebook toolbar decided, nope don’t wanna any more…

Then PDFs wouldn’t open up in the browser, it would actually freeze up the entire system and take long minutes to reset to the point I could use it again.

Then Gmail would take forever to open and then get stuck in the “loading” step without really getting to loading.

Last but certainly not least… Firefox wouldn’t always open up!

It was becoming a waste of time and way to frustrating but was unsure what to do. Internet Explorer and I have not gotten along in a very long time, Safari yeah it was okay and Google Chrome was actually not to bad but all my settings were in Firefox, what’s a girl to do?

Then lo and behold first I hear about Wisestamp… cool now I can get my HTML style signatures back in Gmail, even in Google Chrome! (Okay it is only 2 signatures but after living with none, I’ll take it!).

Next I find that my Xmarks will indeed work in Google Chrome, now we are talkin’.

My bookmarks once again sync between computers.  Sweet!

Best of all… Chrome opens up right away… now I am back up and running. If you haven’t checked out Google Chrome out yet, you might want to.
