For the past few months I’ve been involved with Verbal Networking. It is so much fun! I love being able to talk to people about business ideas - vs typing on email or in a chat room. I’ve missed at least the past month or so of scheduled get togethers due to just not being on the computer during the times. But with the easy to read calendar over at the website, adding a time that works for you into your own calendar takes moments. I’ve loaded all of the meeting times into my Google Calendar so I won’t miss a thing!

Here’s my list of what I wish Firefox did for me ~

I love the tabs, I even love the colored tabs. I have my options set to order the websites I visit daily - gmail, google, my blog dashboards, a couple of forums, etc. It also opens my customize daily list - where I have my to do list as well as affiliate sites listed. (This is just housed on my computer so it’s just a file opening up.)

I want Firefox to keep the list of which websites I want opened in tabs - and rotate them accordingly. Let’s say I have a blog that I co-author with others - and I’d like to post to that blog once a week. Firefox opens the website every time I open Firefox - at least once, sometimes twice a day (I often keep it open so there isn’t multiple restarting). But I don’t want to see that blog that I only write to weekly opened up every time.

I suppose I could utilize my daily file that opens more - I could set up daily, weekly, etc. tasks and the links and thus have less tabs opening. But really, I’d like Firefox to do what I want. Of course I have no idea how that would get done!

What do you want your favorite browser to do? Why? 

It’s often said that if you are designing websites, you need to have multiple browsers to check your work. Often times what looks great in Firefox will look very bad in IE. So check you must!

However, it is also a good idea to test browsers to see what they offer and pick which one works the best for you. You’ve read how I feel about Firefox already, I have many extensions that I use on a daily basis and so forth.

Ed at underachieverlife.com posted a series of videos for day three about blogging. He walks through setting up a blog and also pointed out the Flock browser. I heard about this browser, but being that I am a Firefox user, I passed it by. After watching Ed’s videos about how easy blogging with Flock is, how to blog news stories and reading about the integration of Flickr, I decided to give Flock a try.

The installation - downloading, installing, plus Flock grabbing my favorites, etc., from Firefox - took less then five minues. I got plugged into Flickr as well as added one of my blogs to the blogging system. I immediately see that there are tabbed browsers and using Flickr is a breeze. I did download most of the extensions I had in Firefox, there were a few that I couldn’t find which I can live without for now. I’m going to use Flock for a few days and see what else is different and maybe I’ll stick with it.
