As I mentioned yesterday, Plurk is quickly becoming my favorite miro-blogging/status provider out there. It is unique, creative and doesn’t go down every few hours (hear that Twitter?). How would you like to be able to keep up with your plurking in your Firefox sidebar? Here is how you can get it done.
Visit this handy Plurk URL here:
http://www.plurk.com/m
Bookmark it (or drag and drop it onto your links bar). Then right-click it, and select “Properties”. From here, check the box next to “Load this bookmark in the sidebar”, then save your changes and you are done.
Now you have instant Plurk access no matter what web page you might be on.
Need a friend on Plurk? Feel free to add me! I feel like you all are nearly family anyways!
Update - Thanks to TwisterMC you can get a Firefox add-on that does the same thing, with a few other extra perks.

Here are a few of the cool downloads I’ve been playing with that have made my Windows Vista week a little more stylish and useful.
Windows Sidebar Styler - I wasn’t going to use the Windows sidebar at first, but I thought I would give it a chance for a while and thus far the calender and notes are pretty handy to have there. Windows Sidebar Styler allows you to tweak the look and feel of it (which is needed after a while) and a few other cool features. It is a keeper if you use the sidebar any in Vista.
Logon Studio Vista - This one isn’t helping me as far as performance or getting things done, but have just cool effects and things isn’t always a bad thing. Logon Studio Vista allows you to change the background for the login screen in Vista. There are plenty of pretty ones to choose from too. Just take your pick! Read the rest of this entry »

I like using Google’s Notebook feature but the extension they give you is a little lacking. I think it is too small and doesn’t allow me to open and shut it very quickly. What’s the solution? Well I took the Google personalized homepage widget for Google Notebook and added it to the sidebar of Firefox.
This is much like the “
Add Google Talk to the Firefox Sidebar” trick that was so popular a few weeks back.
- Create a new bookmark (right-click and select “Bookmark this link…”) for this address:
http://www.google.com/notebook/ig?hl=__MSG_locale__
- Right-click on that bookmark and select “Properties”.
- Check the box that says, “Load this bookmark in sidebar” and you are good to go! It isn’t exactly rocket science so everybody should be able to enjoy this one.
Now you have a full note taking application to work with in your sidebar and it beats that tiny default extension Google provides you any day of the week.

I was bored yesterday, so I decided to create a little sidebar for everybody to enjoy. All you need to do to get it up and running is click the link at the end of this post. I wish I could say this took me hours to create, but honestly it only took a few minutes. Now you can listen to the number one hosting podcast across the nation all the time.
+ Add the WHS Sidebar Player to Firefox!
