Using Firefox to Blog
An extension for Firefox was introduced this week so I thought I would give it a try.
I can’t find a button for viewing this post on the actual blog, so I am not sure what it will look like. I have put a check in the “draft” box and click on “save note”. When I log into my WordPress account, I do not see the draft. If the post is written using the Firefox extension, I assume it can not be edited through my WordPress account. Once it is published, will I be able to revise it using WordPress or will I have to use the Firefox extension?
RSS Feeds
I understand the difference between bookmarks and feeds (the class blog makes it very clear), but I am not sure about feed readers. Firefox lists my feeds across the top in the toolbar. IE puts them in my Favorites. Maybe I need to read that section again.
Time to publish
No time like the present to click that button and hope for the best!

It looks good. I loved that original banner though — just my opinion.
I’m with you regarding the readers — I haven’t concentrated enough on that to understand them. I use Firefox, and have about five feeds listed across the top. Don’t know where the others will go… hmm…

Thank you Barb. I plan to change the banner if and when I ever come up with an original idea and have time to do it. There really is a lot to this blogging business!

I think the draft should show under manage posts..if I’m remember where I saw mine. I tried the plugin too if you mean scribefire but I just went ahead and said publish. And it worked like a charm
I’m adding all my feeds to google reader. Then I just have to remember to go there

That sounds really scary if you write your posts in Firefox & can’t alter it. I ALWAYS find something I want to change once it is published.

Hi quirkyartist,
Surely there is a way to preview what the page will look like and I just couldn’t find it. But once it was published, I was able to go into my Worpress account and make any changes needed. Thank goodness!

There are three icons on the upper left side. A and a little panel icon. The panel icon is a live preview. It doesn’t open up your blog but it does show you the styling of your blog post and formatting. So it shows you the post section but not all the other sections of you blog like the side bar. You will need to publish it to see it in context.

Most of the Google tools are user friendly

Thanks Bean. I had found what you are talking about and had to publish to see it in context. Thanks for confirming that what I thought was correct.

Thanks Samtex. When I have a little more free time I will check out the Google reader.
