Creating a search plugin for your own site with Firefox
I have created a search plugin for the Firefox search box that will allow bucketFountain fans who use Firefox/Mozilla/etc to search bucketFountain directly from the browser.

I found a great tutorial on how to make Mac style aqua buttons in Fireworks MX. Not that I’m going to make bucketFountain look like a Mac, but I’m thinking that the glassy look might come in handy…

Please don’t let this be another Netscape
OK – I’m a big Mozilla Firefox fan, and that’s why I’m going to have a small gripe. Far be it from me to complain, but I have a two small issues with PR1 of Firefox. 1. Mail options in menus that only work (I assume) if you use Thunderbird. So why are they there?…
