Great mp3 player extension for Firefox
Yesterday i discovered a solution to the most vexing problem of playing music in browser. I have several websites with links to my own songs-.mp3 files. I didn't like the way it went to Quicktime, or loaded the whole Real Player just to hear a song, and i wanted it to stream instead of download so it would play faster. I found Online Music Player, which is a Flash music player Firefox add-on. - link is also to the left on Products and Service I Recommend.
When you right click a link and choose "Play it" it does just that, from the bottom toolbar in Firefox. IF you hover the mouse over the little blue music note, you get useful information. If you click on the music note, you get a menu of other options. It's fantastic and solves a problem, which is something i always enjoy. No more waiting on mp3's to load. Try it.

Find it fast in Blogger template code
Here's a tip on working with the template code in Blogger. (Customize/Layout/Edit HTML).
First, I use Firefox, so you'll have to do something comparable if you're using IE.
I have the Google search bar in Firefox, and I use that almost everyday, and here's something i discovered that also helps me when I'm tweaking Blogger template code. It's often hard to find the section in the code you need by scrolling through, especially if you have to expand a widget. So instead, click inside the template box, then go up to Firefox's Google bar and type in the word you want to find, BUT DON'T hit enter.

Instead look to the right on the Google Bar, where you'll see the word listed. If you click on that word there, it will highlight that instance of the word in your template. Each time you click it, it will find the next occurrence of that word.
This trick saves hours of frustration sometimes.
