"Firefox Extension - Google Browser Sync"

virtual — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 05:17:09 +0000

In the last few years, I have been using Opera to keep track of my sessions, and it was fantastic.
But there's one problem: I power-browse the web all the time from many different locations, using many different computers, many different virtual machines, and many different operation systems.
Enter the Google Firefox Extension - Google Browser Sync. This plugin allows me to synchronize all cookies, bookmarks, logins, passwords, and current session across any operating system that supports Firefox, and has become completely essential to my browsing experience. It lets me continue research or reading easily, and painlessly.
You will need a gmail account in order to use the service, but aside from that it's smooth-sailing.
Yar!

This Adsense Firefox extension will allow you to check up on your Adsense earnings at all times without needing to leave the sites you are currently browsing.
If you're OCD like me, this will be your new best friend.

"Howto: Get Better Adsense Revenues from bbPress"

virtual — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 08:16:54 +0000

I have been experimenting in bbPress, trying to figure out a good way to get targeted adverts to appear alongside content, as hosting this does in fact cost a bit of money.
It seems that there is a bit of a problem in bbPress at the moment, and it involves the words "tags", which pops up everywhere, since that is what bbPress chooses to call its meta tags, or categories.
Because of this, if you simply include your adsense code in the header you will have a bit of a problem because you will get many advertisements focused on things that revolve around what bbPress publishes as meta data, and the actual content of the page you have published.
In order to alleviate this issue and get some proper search engine optimization going, I would recommend adding the Google Adsense code to the top of each of your my-templates PHP files, taking care to ad the code in after bbPress calls its header.php file.
This will allow you to market the pages in a much better fashion - search engine marketing made easy!

"Google PageRank and Alexa in Your Firefox 2"

virtual — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 09:49:03 +0000

One of my favorite plugins for Firefox 2 is SearchStatus from quirk.biz.
It sits on the bottom right status bar of Firefox and doesn't get in the way.
Not only that, but it's always there when I need it, and I no longer need to waste precious toolbar space with the Google toolbar - this gives what I need - the Pagerank of all pages visited. Not only that, it gives me the Alexa rating too!

Bye bye Google Toolbar... you won't be missed.

"New bbPress theme/template"

virtual — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 02:49:47 +0000

After working a few hours hacking the bbPress code, I have been able to include a few refinements that make me a bit more confident in rolling out bbPress to other sites.
They are as follows:

Prominent RSS feed link with recognizable button
Better heatmap with snazzy striped background
Included Google Adsense in the theme
Included Google Analytics in the theme
Included dynamic footer that changes from blog to blog

There will be more features to come - the theme is not final, just a sort of compendium for all the changes made to the site today.
You can download the blandname bbPress theme by clicking on this link.
Installation is the same as any other bbPress theme or template - it will install to the my-templates folder, and bbPress will use it instead of the default template.
Oh, you'll want to edit the header file to include your adsense number, and edit the footer while you're at it to insert your analytics code.
(I'll be making that dynamic soon, I promise)
