My good friend Hyder has introduced a great new resource for WordPress users, called Plugin Zilla. This site has reviews of all kinds of WordPress plugins, so you can find the plugin that best fits your needs based on actual testing and reviews by a real-life WordPress user.

What makes Plugin Zilla stand out is that Hyder actually tests each plugin that comes his way, versus other sites, which just lists plugins and gives an author-written blurb about it.

While I am starting my own WordPress plugins review series next week, Plugin Zilla is definitely another resource to add to your list! Check it out!

Our favorite web browser, Firefox, does not always update bookmark icons when a site’s icon changes, or it saves the icon of Google News next to CNN’s icon.

This can be a wee bit annoying, so, with a little tweaking, you can erase the old icon and let Firefox update your browser with the new icon.

First you need to find the bookmarks.html folder for your Firefox.

In Windows XP for me, it’s on a torturous thrill ride through the following folders: Documents and Settings - username - ApplicationData - Mozilla - Firefox - Profiles–a gobbledygook folder.

I am a huge fan of StumbleUpon - the social networking site that lets you set preferences and find site that you might be interested in - and share them with friends!

But as a blogger, I am always interested in how often my pages are Stumbled (added to StumbleUpon’s databases).

I found a simple JavaScript bookmarklet for Firefox at The Internet Entrepreneur Diary that can let me know with one click whether or not a page has been Stumbled.

Stumbled?

Simply drag and drop the “Stumbled?” link to your “Bookmarks Toolbar Folder”. Now, you will have a shortcut on your Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.
