Commentblogger bookmarklet

WebDev

Do you leave your best stuff in other people's comments? Do you forget where you comment so you don't get back to follow the conversation? Then the Yoz Grahame's Cheerleader: Commentblogger bookmarklet might be of interest to you. An interesting idea for collecting comment information for private or public consumption. Currently for Movable Type only.

Via web-graphics, markl.f2o.org's Show Classes and IDs Favelet (Bookmarklet). Apparently it only works in Mozilla/Firebird (and maybe others but probably not IE). Sure to become another indispensible tool!

Nine Things to Make Your Web Site Better

WebDev

Nine Things To Make Your Web Site Better is a nice round up of things anyone with a web site should think about.

I particularly liked in point one the reminder that not everyone is viewing your site on IE on Windows. When I made the switch to Mozilla/Firebird, I was shocked to learn that several of my regular blog reads were totally un-readable in Mozilla.

Bookmarklets

WebDev

If you just love bookmarklets, you don't want to miss this one. milov.nl 1938: bookmarklet: !usedcolors extracts all the referenced hex colours from a web page/stylesheet and displays them in a separate window. Cool!


This site is excellent, if you want to know more about bookmarklets.

Table generating script

WebDev

This script from scriptygoddess is very handy and I wanted to bookmark it here as well. While originally intended to generate tables on the fly for thumbnails in a photolog, I've found it can be made to work for a variety of uses, such as putting archive listings into columns etc, just by changing the MT related tags to the appropriate ones. Javascript and php versions are available.
