Web Developer Toolbar

Oct 222008
 

You may have noticed that I have not made a post in a couple of days. I’m am going crazy with my Twitter Toolbar that I just created. I am simply addicted to getting it to work exactly the way I want it, and am having a lot of fun doing it. On the subject of toolbars though, I thought I could at least make a new post about a favorite cool tool that I use. The Web Developer Toolbar, created by Chris Pederick.

This toolbar is a really cool tool for webmasters. One click, get all form ID’s. One click, see outline of a website. One click view source. This thing works more like a Swiss Army knife than a toolbar. Doing a quick count, I found at least 100 different functions. It’s designed for Firefox, so sorry IE users.

First Cool Tool Post

Last night I decided to add a new category to the site, Cool Tools. This was a big decision for me, because I only intend on having a maximum of six categories total. I have finally decided to start dedicating more time to BWI, and will also be bringing on a few new authors as well. It’s time to grow, and give the audience a little bigger bite to enjoy. Cool Tools will be about new tools I find, or favorite tools currently being used by myself or the current author.

Screenshot Studio

The first Cool Tool is one of my personal favorites, Screenshot Studio. Screenshot Studio is screen capture software if you didn’t guess. I first found it in the Firefox add-on directory. It is without a doubt, my favorite Firefox add-on, and use it for many of my blog posts. There is an add-on for IE as well.

It basically works just like hitting the print screen button. The power, or beauty of the software though, is what you can easily do to the shot afterwards. Crop, create text boxes, text boxes with arrows, draw lines, free hand draw, blur, and a lot more. You can then easily save the image to your hard drive, your server, or even their host.

Another cool and yet important feature of the application is it’s cost. It’s free. They do offer a paid version, but the additional benefits are pretty weak compared to the overall power of the free version.

If you don’t have it yet I would strongly suggest grabbing it now. Download Page
