Nice read
no doubt Firefox is the best .I have been knowing few of them while others are quite new.
Great collection and keep it up………using many of these can be too busy on any blog
Hey Shafar, What a list! It’s funny (not really) but you would not believe I my blog got hit again last night by malware, and I loss my Firefox. So I just had to install it again, and I happened to notice some of the add-ons. I think I would be way overwhelmed if I even installed half of those, but they sound great for those bloggers who are what one might call “street smart” or rather “computer smart”.I’ve got to go and take care of my blog/communicate w/Google and ask for a review and all of that. Sometimes I think I’m being picked on or someone has my number…something is not right here in “bloggerville”. Thanks for the great list, maybe some year.
@Shabnam Sultan
Gald that you found some of them quite new and useful.
Thanks for dropping by.
@Mike
Yes of course, we can use some of them suiting our needs. I think some are must-use for bloggers!
@jjmomscashblog
I suggest you to use WordPress security and back-up plugins (google and try) and in firefox use back-up Add-ons like Xmarks.
Hi JJ, still stuck with many problems?
I’m not an expert advisor, but just wanna say that never give up! Blogging and social networking gives a lot of relaxation for me most of the times. You have been commenting in my blog right from the beginning. Feels very happy to see comments from fellow bloggers.
Regards..
