What the Scrollbar Anywhere extension does, is that it enables you to scroll a page simply by holding down your right mouse button.

Just press the right mouse button and and keep it down while you move it to scroll the page. Release the button, when you're done scrolling. It's that easy.

This is a pretty basic extension but it's a feature that I use a lot.

BlogRovR is a service where to add all your favorite blogs. You can select packages and you can add other blogs you read — or both at the same time.

When you're done doing that you install a BlogRovR Firefox extension, and when you visit a site, that one/more of your favorite blogs have written about, BlogRovR pops up in the right side of the browser window with links to the blog posts mentioning the site you're visiting.

I have just started using BlogRovR, so that's basically all I know about the service :-)

Just use the Fission extension, which I'm using right now — yes, it works with Flock (0.9 Beta) as well!

Then create your own plugin.

Here's a guide on how to write your own plugins for WordPress.

I haven't had the time to check it out yet, but it sounds like a sure read :-)

But via Geekzone I've come across Interclue.

To be honest, I've only been using Interclue for something like 30 seconds or so but so far it seems much more sophisticated and though through than Snap — plus it has more features.

Test it and see for yourself. According to Geekzone the people behind Interclue is planning to release versions for Internet Explorer 7 and Safari browsers.

This is my first time installing anything Microsoft into my Firefox and for simply that reason I actually looked at the End User License Agreement, EULA. Here's a snippet of what happens, when Microsoft issues a plugin to Firefox and adds its legal mumbo-jumbo:

[...]

2. Scope of License. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways.

You may not
· work around any technical limitations in the software;
· reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;
· make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
· publish the software for others to copy;
· rent, lease or lend the software;
· transfer the software or this agreement to any third party; or
· use the software for commercial software hosting services.

3. BACKUP COPY.
You may make one backup copy of the software. You may use it only to reinstall the software.

[...]

I can't see what I cannot redistribute the software? You'd think that Microsofts wants as many people as possible to know about it, eh?

And I just created my one backup copy. Better burn it to a CD-ROM — just to be sure, since I'm only allowed to create one.

What's up with all of this?

Inspired by what's currently happening at Rene's blog I've also chosen to integrate coComment into my blog.

coComment is basically a tool you can use to track the various conversations you've got going on a various blogs around the web.

Cool! No more subscribing to comment feeds from blogs where I posted a comment to see if someone else replied my comment. Nice :D

Oh, and coComment also provides a Firefox plugin that makes sure that you can add the conversations to you CoComment and notifies you when someone has posted something in a conversation that you also participate in. Nifty!

I'm currently testing the SphereIt plugin for self hosted WordPress blogs, Tony Conrad, CEO and Founder at Sphere wrote me in an e-mail saying I'd been »in front of the queue to try out our new SphereIt Contextual Widget Plug-in for WordPress«.

If you click on the "Sphere It" button at the bottom of the post you're reading you'll be shown a popup window showing what other bloggers are saying on the same topic. Seems very very very cool indeed :D

[...] please note the plug-in works well on posts that have a little heft (more than a few words of text) and are about topics that are being actively discussed in the blogosphere.

I can't wait to see this baby in action! Sphere me! :)

I've been hoping that online bookmarking service del.icio.us would support Microsummaries, and now they do.

Or at least in a del.icio.us extension for Firefox. I have written about this extension in a post entitled "THE Firefox extension at the moment: Firefox and del.icio.us unite!".

When you have this extension installed, you simply press CTRL/CMD+D when you're at the page, you want to bookmark. Note that the name of the bookmark field is also a drop down box. So just click the button to expand the menu, and select the Microsummaries title.

It's illustrated here:

I'm not yet sure if the Microsummaries title shows up in the list at del.icio.us…

Update 1: After posting this and reloading my del.icio.us bookmarks it seems that del.icio.us don't support Microsummaries full yet, since it still has the "Ode to WordPress" title. :-(

Now I can right click a link and have it copied to my clipboard as an HTML link. Sweet Jesus, how I've missed this feature!

However… it would be nice, if the extension had a "copy as HTML link with target="_blank"" feature :-)
