Happy 2007!

Happy New Years!!! Here’s to a wonderful 2007! I had plan on doing a year in review for The Firefox Extension Guru’s Blog. But there is one minor problem…the blog didn’t start until May! So, I’ll review the past 7 Blog months (May-December). I plan on having May, June, July and August up by late New Year’s Eve and September, October, November and December on New Years Day.

A couple new features…

I’ve added a couple new features to the right side bar: Posts of Interest: These are posts which are great reference guides and contain a wealth of Firefox information. Currently there are only two posts included: Firefox 2.0 Tweaks Guide and Fx Year In Review. More should be added in the future. Note: If there is a post you feel should be included let me know, it is easy for me to overlook some posts. Latest From The Guru: Lists the last 5 posts in order as they appear in the blog (not necessarily as they were published). On rare…

Merry Christmas from the Guru!

Wishing y’all a very Merry Christmas! A little later today I will be posting a very special entry: Fx Year In Review. I’ve spent quite a bit of time over the course of this past week doing research and taking notes for this entry. This is a very in depth review of Firefox throughout 2006 from 1.5 to 2.0.0.1 and even 3.0a1! I have covered features and fixes as well as included my thoughts (some good and some not so good) about these particular releases. Also, something different with the Fx Year in Review entry, I have included several external…

More Blog Changes & FileZilla

Thanks to everyone who has commented about the new theme and layout. Based on these comments I have made a couple more tweaks. The old ‘Featured Links’ section use to have ‘buttons’ for all the browsers and some of the blogs. People commented those did not look so great with the rest of the blog. Well, I have to agree the ‘buttons’ were all different sizes and just too big. I have removed all the linked images. Also recategorized the ‘Featured Links’ into either ‘Blogs’ or ‘Internet & Browsers’. I have also added a link to FileZilla, a fast and…

Another New Look

Once again I have changed the Blog’s theme and layout. This new theme is called Garland and also a three column design, but the content in is the center. Since this theme allows me to choose my own colors I had a chance to try out a cool color scheme finder. Ryan at CyberNet used this site: HTML Colour Code Combination Chooser, when he redid the CyberNet Blog around Thanksgiving. Couple other minor changes, the About The Guru and Disclaimer links are now in the header and some of the Feature Links graphics had to be changed due to size…

Just One More Thing…

The famous words of Lieutenant Columbo…I have decided to add the ‘Archives’ widget into the left side-bar since this theme doesn’t seem to have the ability to go back to older entries from the main page.

A Quick Note From The Guru

Note: If this page is displaying a bit funky hold the SHIFT key and click the ‘Reload’ button to force Firefox reload the page correctly. The Firefox Extension Guru’s Blog has a new theme! On December 7th, WordPress introduced a new three-column theme called 2813 (Twenty-eight Thirteen) . Normally, I’ve not been a fan of these three-column themes, but my side-bar content has become quite lengthy in the past few weeks. Having the side-bar content broken-up and displayed in two columns does look better. Another neat feature of this theme is when you hover over a link it becomes highlighted….

Six Months Ago…

Here we are, the 1st of November. Yikes, where has the year gone!? I just realized six months ago today was my first post, (then at the old Blogger site) A Blog is Born! Never thought this Blog would take off, of course never really knew how well it was doing (or not doing) until early September when I moved to the New Blog Home. The comments, links and ping backs have been pouring in, especially in regards to the Firefox Tweaks. Even more impressive are the number of visits, especially during last week, when Firefox 2 was released. I…
