I think maybe 4 people who read this blog are even going to care about this, but I do so I’m writing about it. Scribefire is an extension for Firefox that opens up a small window at the bottom of the browser. In this little window is a mini-blogging tool that let’s me look at a website while I write about, which is absolutely the most helpful tool in the world. When I first started blogging I hated the idea of having to blog through Wordpress, constantly switching between tabs, or having an entirely separate program to write posts.

I guess this is just a post about how much I love Scribefire, it’s one of the main reasons I use Firefox over Safari. And this morning they just released a brand new version (which Firefox 3 conveniently notified me of) and it’s even better than it was before. You can search for photos on Flickr and post them right to your blog and the same thing goes for YouTube, which I’ll definitely be using. My only beef so far is that I can’t resize the menu bar thingy to the right anymore, but I’m sure they’ll fix it eventually, it’s really NBD.

If you happen to have a blog and have never heard of Scribefire I highly suggest checking it out, it’s a life saver.

1. I’m surprised that you use Firefox. Well, I guess it’s not as shocking considering you probably have a Mac. I, unfortunately, have a PC and run Firefox which renders text terribly on my computer. But I guess that’s my only gripe with Firefox.

2. I do have a Mac, you’re correct. But I have the Firefox 3.0 and it renders text BEAUTIFULLY, but it could be a Mac thing? That surprises me that it doesn’t look good.

3. Righteous extension. I’m downloading it now, thanks for the heads up.

   I use Firefox on my main mac, but I also use it on a PC I use off-site on a near daily basis as well.

   I love it there, too, and I have much better luck with it than terrible, horrible and forever cursed Internet Explorer. Gross.
