I check my stats about twice per day. Since the beginning of March when my internet presence was started, I have added 5 sites to be analysed, including Blogtrepreneur, ChipandChat and the now famous GolfChum. Whilst I was browsing through my Performancing Metrics, I realised that they had just released a new version of Performancing for Firefox 1.3 - The Addons and Themes API. To quote from the site,
“The release of Performancing Firefox 1.3 brings a whole new dimension to the free open source blog editor. By making PFF extensible via the Themes and Addons API’s, and opening up the source code via subversion, we’re putting the blogosphere’s favorite editor where it belongs, in the hands of it’s users.”
So Im sitting here now, using my favourite internet browser (Mozilla), and able to write to my blog with the click of an icon or by pressing F8. This means when I come across a news article which I think my readers will appreciate it will be even easier to post to my blog - without the need to constantly log in and out of my Wordpress account. Well done to the guys at Performancing!

A good call on recommending Performancing. It doesn’t do everything on my “dream” list but neither does anything else … and the price and convenience of the Mozilla or Firefox and Performancing interface are hard to beat. Maybe with the capability to include plug-ins someone will come up with the most egregiously lacking feature … spell checking.

Oh right - I’ve never really used spell-checking. I owe that down to my English teacher in my primary and secondary schools. I think they’ve done a good job! That being said, if you do spot any mistakes please contact me, because I hate making small errors!
Yeah, with Firefox as popular as it is, it only makes sense to keep bringing out more improvements like this Performancing tool. I think you’re right also that more plugins will come out, but at the moment, I found everything that I needed. Performancing have done a very good job packing loads of features into such a small area.

Firefox is the best. I love the extensions available for free. I had not heard of Performancing before but I will give it a look. I love the web design extension I downloaded for my browser. I can look at any aspect of a websites design. It has come in handy.

Making Firefox free along with the extensions was a really good tactic in increasing Mozilla’s brand name. Making freeware programs is a thought which I have also implemented into GolfChum so as to increase my online recognition.
I havn’t tried the web design extension (as Im not really a designer!), but I’ll take a look at it. Thanks for your comment Andrew
