National Museum Of The Middle Class Opens In Schaumburg, IL

This post is really just a test of the "BlogThis!" plugin for the Firefox browser. The plugin is designed to work with Blogger (and so it works with Brahma Blogs). If I right-click on a link or an image, I can---now that I have installed the plugin---select "BlogThis" from the context menu. When I do that, a new window pops up with the HTML code for the hyperlink already typed into the text area. I just typed this paragraph below it. At the upper-right corner of the window is a drop-down box listing the blogs to which I subscribe. Because I subscribe only to Brahma Blogs, that's already selected by default.

Now, I'll push the "Publish" button, and see what happens.

    That worked reasonably well. Too bad the plugin doesn't automatically place an in-line picture. It doesn't work exactly as I expected; the user clicks anywhere on the page, and the generated link points to the page on which he clicked.

    The StumbleUpon plugin for Firefox is even cooler than the Blogger plugin, though, and that's why the Blogger plugin's behavior through me off a little. If I right-click on an image on a Web page, the StumbleUpon plugin allows me to generate an entry for my StumbleUpon blog and places an in-line version of the image that I clicked on directly into the blog entry.

    Anyway, the Blogger plugin is another reason for you guys to give Firefox a spin.
