Thunderbird Account Provisioner

Whilst trying to find more information about Thunderbird 3.3 Miramar, I came across the Mozilla Labs blog and an experimental add-on unofficially called Account Provisioner. A little background, it seems about 2/3 of the people who download Thunderbird are expecting to get an email address with it. Interesting, so the majority of people assume Thunderbird is an email client and provider. Doesn’t make much sense to me, but then I am use to having an email client and using it with an either an ISP provided email address or a corporate related email address. I would not have thought have…

Master Password Plus

Trying this out now. If nothing else I will be glad to get rid of the multiple prompts. ” Firefox only: If you’re not using Firefox’s Master Password to lock down your saved passwords, that’s a mistake. Then again, the Master Password itself could be more secure and less annoying. The Master Password+ extension fixes its subject on both those fronts… “ Jan 5, 2011  http://lifehacker.com/5725385/master-password%252B-vastly-improves-firefoxs-password-security

New Redesigns Coming

With the great success I have had converting the Firefox Extension Guru’s Sites over to WordPress I’ve opted to redo the Email Mafia sites as well. As you can see, the blog has already been redone and cleaned up. Just waiting on the new database to setup so I can redo the main Email Mafia site.

…and we’re live!

I should know better than to try to make hosting changes over a weekend. Everyone else, so things that should normally go through say in a couple hours take a lot longer. I checked earlier and saw ffextensionguru.info was now showing the new blog so I decided to check blog.ffextensionguru.com. Well what da ya know it works! I also was able to have all traffic which went to the old ffextensionguru.wordpress.com URL automagically redirected to the new blog (for $12 a year). This is also good for SEO as well as the tons of links I have out on forums….

Preview: Main Site

Phases 1 and 2 of the ‘big changes’ are already or nearly completed. Earlier this week, we did move over the Wiki, the main site, The Email Mafiia blog and sites and a handful of other sites to the new sever. Surprisingly, the migration went a lot smoother than I was expecting. Did some have minor issues with the Wiki, but was able to get those resolved very quickly. As for the main site, just have a little more tweaking and adjusting to do before we launch the new main site. So far, I am very impressed with the flexibility…

Big Changes Coming

I’ve been wanting to make the move to the self hosted WordPress for a while now. Unfortunately, the hosting service which is included in my reseller package at my current provider is not optimized to handle WordPress. This was kind the reason I was keeping the package with them was the hosting and some other ‘freebies’ I was getting. Towards the end of last year I noticed I really wasn’t using these free items anymore. I happened to get a hold of a very good discount which allowed me to get a new 3-years hosting package for less than I…
