Cool Site of the Day. So cool!

http://www.coolsiteoftheday.com/
This site posts a cool site--every day! It's great for finding a random site that you think you will enjoy or need. That's how I found StumbleUpon, which will be the subject of my next post.
The cool site is chosen by submissions. Basically, people submit their site or a site they enjoy, and hopefully it will be picked. What's more? No adult rated sites! So you can feel free to explore their submissions without worrying about what will pop up on the screen.
You can also get the cool site of the day right in your inbox every day so you don't have to go online to get it.
Give it a visit: you won't be dissapointed!

Note: I am hoping to get my blog listed as well. I could use the publicity :)

ScribeFire: the ultimate blogger's tool

Scribefire: Fire up your blogging

It really couldn't get better.



ScribeFire is a browser plugin which allows you to publish to your blog: from any page! Just press F8, and a pane (pictured above) pops up with all the options that a regular blog has. As the screenshot shows, I am posting this using ScribeFire.

Use that in conjunction to SnagIt, and you've got the ultimate blogging set up!  In truth, why would you ever NOT use ScribeFire to post from now on? You don't have to worry about logging into blogger, then going to your dashboard, then going to your blog, then adding a post, and finally typing. With this tool, you press F8, and voila, you can start typing. As far as I know, it's for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. I recommend Firefox, though. Why? Because Firefox is the overall best browser. It has possibly the most addons of all browsers, it's very fast compared to even Chrome or IE, and it's got a nice feel. So download Firefox if you don't already have it, then get ScribeFire from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scribefire-blog-editor/

I truly recommend ScribeFire. It makes posting a much simpler process. 

Happy blogging!
