If you use WordPress to run your website, you probably jump in and out of the administrator side of the blogging tool a lot. I know I do. So, with that said, finding a tool that makes jumping into the admin menus of WordPress is a real time saver for me. That is where the WordPress Admin Toolbar comes into our picture today. With a single click you can go to anywhere within your WordPress administration interface and not even break a sweat.
Now I do not plug my other projects very often, however I think this is an important enough update to share with the rest of my fans (even my wonderful Firefox Facts subscribers)! I just finished up with a brand new redesign of my layout over at Mitchelaneous.com – and I would love your feedback on it.
What is Mitchelaneous? It is my personal blog, with tutorials helping with tech tips, web development and geeky entertainment. Pretty much everything else I want to post about is posted here, that does not fit under the web hosting category of WebHostingShow.com and the Mozilla category or FirefoxFacts.com.
Need a Firefox add-on that may fuel your creative juices when it comes to blogging? I know you. You said you might almost want to try it again but you just don’t have the time – or you think it is too complicated.
DashBlog has high hopes to save the day for you and many other wanting the task of sharing things with friends a lot easier.

Want to just blog it? There is a neat new Firefox addon that you might be interested in. The addon, rightfully named JustBlogIt lets you blog from Firefox using a plethora of different blogging methods. The promise here is to blog anything from Firefox’s right-click context menu.

If you want the latest and greatest version, pick it up from the add-on’s official web site. You can also find the latest “Mozilla tested, mother approved” version on Mozilla’s own add-on site.
WordPress.com makes for a great publishing platform.
Some folks out there have e-mailed me and asked for an easier way to post to it. Well, after doing some searching I ran across an extension that will let you blog from your sidebar in Firefox.
The WordPress.com Sidebar extension puts a button in your browser that allows you to click it and open up an editor on the sidebar where you can get your posting done.
Now I love WordPress, and I use it for nearly all of my various Web projects. I agree with the mass majority that installing WordPress plugins and themes can sometimes be a pain. Sure it isn’t rocket science, but it could be a little easier.
The OneClick Installer for WordPress extension for Firefox hopes to change that for me. A very unique idea indeed – this extension promises to give you that “one click” install process for any WordPress theme or plugin out there.
This makes the job of customizing your WordPress install just a little easier for folks that don’t want to dive into the HTML editors and FTP clients to get things done. To learn more about it, you can check out the author’s post on it – or check it out for yourself at the Mozilla addons web site.
