Giddyup for STAR

Cathy and I really enjoy blogging. We value it so much that we have encouraged our children to blog (Noah, Sarah, and Tommy). We even have our special interest blog although we have slowed down posting on it since 1) Tommy is doing his own blog now and 2) we really reflect our Asperger thoughts on our own blogs.

Blogging often involves citing sources, cross references, and quoting content. There are many tools out there to help a blogger particularly if you use Firefox or use Wordpress. Whenever I copy a link, it is a multi-step process. First type <a href=""></a> then copy the text and insert it then copy the link and insert it. Tedious but highly necessary. Blogs should have links in and links out! i finally got off my rear and sought out a tool that I needed to help with this. The CoLT extension to Firefox is a life saver! Now on Cathy’s machine (and soon on mine), you can simply right click a link and copy BOTH the url and the text in pre-formated ways. What a time saver! I’m using it to help build an index to the blogathons. 2007 is coming along.
