Firefox AddOns

Today we explored Firefox Add-ons. Firefox add-ons allow you to further personalize your Firefox browser beyond personas.  Add-ons can be anything from the weather...

...to a game that lets you destroy the website you are on...

...to colorful tabs that make using them easier!

Most of the Firefox Add-ons make Firefox easier to use or more enjoyable.  They are totally free -- you don't even need to make an account.  Firefox has a ton of categories to choose from, like appearances, games, shopping, and blogging.  To add an add-on, just click on the one you want and follow the directions!

Favicons

Today we explored Favicons.  Favicons (short for favorite icons) are the little icons that appear next to the URL on some websites.  For example, Blogger always has the orange box with the white B.  But now, whenever someone visits my blog, they will see a cute little penguin as my favicon!  This is cool because it allows you to personalize your blog even further from just backgrounds. 

 

This is what my favicon looks like in its original state.  As a favicon though,  it looks like this...

BeFunky

Today I explored BeFunky.  BeFunky is a picture editing website that is amazingly awesome.  I love tinkering with pictures, so I really liked this site.  However, there aren't very many options to do to your pictures unless you upgrade to plus.  I enjoyed looking around though.  It is fairly user friendly though.  This is a picture I made.  I chose Jacob Black because I have a cardboard cutout of him.

Blog Backgrounds

Today we changed our blog's background.  Mrs. James told us of a way to change the background on our blogs to something other than what blogger offers.  To do this, you just visit a site like cutest blog on the block.  Once you find a background that suits your style, all you have to do is copy the html code and put it on blogger as a gadget to get the background that you want!  Right now, my  background is a girly daisy background called Happy Daisy. 

 

There are many different sites that allow you to change your background.  These sites include...

...HOT bliggity

...Shabby Blogs
...Simply Blog It Backgrounds

Domains

Today we learned about domains.  A domain is an internet address that you've purchased.  On blogger, you can purchase a domain name for just $10 a year.  I searched for a few domain names, and there were some that were available and some that weren't.
