Blog easier with 17 Firefox extensions

by Ryan Carter Jun 6th 2007

The folks at lifehack.org, (not LifeHacker.com) have cooked up the 17 best Firefox extensions that will make blogging easy. I'm sure you've seen some of these before, but just in case you haven't seen them all, they are:

There are some widely-used extensions on the list, such as ScribeFire (formerly performancing), Split Browser, Session Manager and Google Notebook, but there are some that aren't so well known, like Picnik, DocuFarm, Deepest Sender, and Tabinta. Once installed, these extensions greatly help the organization and communication of information.

Are there other extensions that should have made this list from lifehack.org? What are the best extensions that make blogging easier, fun, or enjoyable for you?

Nothing to add, but I can say that Google Notebook is near about indispensable for me. I have it installed on all the FF copies I use on a daily basis (2 home machines and a work machine) and it makes it extremely easy to move small bits of info, book recommendations, site links, et al. around. I know a bunch of guys who use it as a mini-GTD aggregator too.

Google Notebook in it's new iteration is light-year ahead of many other notebook type apps, and works well even when embedded on your Google homepage. I think my favorite find on this list is Picnik, which has already made my life easier. I was stunned by Picnik's intuitive simplicity and array of options.

DocuFarm is fantastic. It should be mandatory that sites warn you when you're about to open a PDF and I love that DF plays the role of gatekeeper for me. Great list.

Have you tried out inFormEnter?
This is add-on makes leaving comments alot easier, especially if you run more than one blog site.

Well worth installing.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
