IE7, sort of
Everything Else
If you're tired of waiting for Microsoft to get it right, try this version of IE7. Still in alpha but some nice fixes for many of IE's annoyances.

TextPattern
Everything Else
After having a look at WordPress recently, I figured I might as well have a peek at TextPattern. I just have to say - it's a thing of beauty. Not for the faint of heart as there's a bit of a learning curve here, but the potential is obvious, even in this Gamma release. I can't wait to play with it some more. Textpattern: Download

And who doesn't want to dodgeit?
Everything Else
dodgeit is a faux email address service, like mailinator, but rather that logging in to see if anyone sent you spam, you can just subscribe to an RSS feed for your fictitious@dodgeit.com address. I like it!

Couple of Links
Everything Else
Via Blog-Fu, the Printable Link Footnotes Bookmarklet. This cool bookmarklet will print a list of links as footnotes when you are printing a webpage. Sadly, IE Only.
Also seen this morning,
Graphical Headers is an alternative to the Fahner Image Replacement technique that will work even if the user has images turned off. Via Andy Budd.

A number of updates
Everything Else
Textism releases Refer 2.1.
Six Apart releases new mt-send-entry script for those who wish to keep this function, but recommends the original be deleted if the script is not being used.
And not an update but very darned cool - Through the Eye of a Mac Browser. See how your site looks on a Mac running Safari.

Knowspam!
Everything Else
Knowspam.net: Tired of Spam Yet? You betcha. Interesting concept. Instead of trying to find the spam, it tries to find the humans. From what I read, it's doing a good job at it too.

Steal These Buttons
Everything Else
As seen at Zeldman and recently on MovableBlog, as well, some nice replacement XML buttons can be found at Antipixel. The comments on the page also reveal several very nice CSS solutions for creating similar buttons.
The Raging Platypus invites you to steal his buttons as well. (On the right sidebar).
In both cases, save to your own server, obviously.

Blog Patrol
Everything Else
I just came across Blogpatrol and although I'm not looking for a stats program, I thought I'd post a link here anyway. I didn't read the fine print. Might be a nasty catch in there somewhere but it looks like fairly decent stats easy and free, if anyone is looking to add this to their weblog.

Opera 7
Everything Else
The newest version of the Opera browser - Opera 7 - is now available in beta. If you like to test your site on lots of browsers, it's worth the download. My own brief tour shows that some things have improved, but a lot still render differently from IE6, Mozilla, Netscape 7, Phoenix etc.
