Testing flickr plugin

Posted in blogging, computers, personal, photography, plugins, software, wikis & widgets on March 23rd, 2008





I can get the plugin to work for the posts which contain photos, but it takes an age to load if it ever does. I didn’t wait to find out. So I deleted that and relied on the widget alone. No luck there either.

I think the problem is that my server is not using PHP 5+ to support my blog. I have also emailed PicLens.

If you too cannot add this to your blog, what you can do is download the piclens Firefox add-on. Then on other sites you can click on any image where an arrow appears and that will open up your browser so you can see the slideshow of any one else’s pictures.

Firefox add-ons for the web developer

Posted in web design on February 14th, 2008

I’ve just been reading about browser toolbars and reviews of them. One of the comments revealed my favourite Firefox toolbar, which gives information about CSS, Forms, Images, Source and many more features.

The Web Developer extension adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools. It is designed for Firefox, Flock and Seamonkey, and will run on any platform that these browsers support including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

I have a list of other useful Firefox add-ons for web developers here.
