Ok my friends. Normally when I want to write a blog post i log into my WordPress admin account and write the blog post there. But I am getting older and older… and I get to lazy for this. So it was time to have a look for some easier way to do my blog posts. And I think I found a nice solution: Scribefire.

What is Scribefire?

ScribeFire is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser that integrates with your browser to let you easily post to your blog: you can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, and post to your blog.

And right now this is my first post I am creating with this nice Firefox Extension. And i must say it really makes a good first impression. So if you are a lazy ass like me and you are looking for a way to create your blog posts faster and easier, give Scribefire a try.

This Firefox extension helps you working with WordPress by providing useful help and tools. The extension eases the fast and simple access to develop-relevant pages of the WordPress Codex. So you always have all the necessary help at your fingertips. It’s also possible to search after strings of text that is currently marked. Furthermore it’s possible to easily switch to WordPress backend of current site. More than that, a small Icon indicates wether the currently displayed website makes use of WordPress.

‘Editor’s Choice’ links are obtained from a remote source (the author’s website), therefore are faster kept updated and available than the Codex links of this WordPress Helper extension. The links are maintained by the plugin author, new links can be suggested by any user though.

Other features are:

* Update Notification on new WordPress versions
* Community notifications: Get informed whenever there’s a possibility to contribute to the process of WP development (polls, feature requests etc.)
* Website Profiles
* Custom Shortcuts
* Various preference settings

Domain Lookup is a Firefox extension that helps you discover valuable generic domain names while surfing the web. Definatly a must for every “domain junkie” :-)

I love this Firefox extension. In my job i often have to create screenshots. And this extension really makes a great job and saves me a lot of time. And unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality is especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers. Screenshots can be saved to disk (PNG, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.

GridFox is a Firefox extension that overlays a grid on any website. If you can open it in Firefox, you can put a grid on top of it. It’s easy to customize, allowing you to create the exact grid you designed your layout around.
