[joomla] Google Browser Size tool

Hi all,
I ran across this on Digg and thought I would pass it along. 
Browser Size creates an overlay with data Google collected about the actual
viewable area in peoples browsers. This allows you to position critical
elements where they will be seen without forcing users to scroll the page.
Google Earth notes a 10% increase in downloads as the result of their using
this to reposition the download button.
The link to the Google Code blog where you can find out more on this tool
and see if it would be useful for you is
http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-google-browser-size.html


Cheers!
Herb

What is the best way to set up an article template, for an article that has
specific and unusual styling that you don't want a user to accidentally
destroy while editing?

I've always installed JCE and turned off everything but bold and italic :-)

I have a bunch of divs and classes that need to remain in place in the
article and the user should just edit the text within the divs, as well as
add new sets of divs.  I don't want them to accidentally delete the tags or
their attributes while editing.

I tried EasyTemplate, which looks like a good solution but the Insert button
is dead in JCE.

FYI, I installed a JCE update and now the buttons on EasyTemplate works.

EasyTemplate looks like a nice plugin for inserting preformatted text.  It
give you a little box to add your text and then it applies your formatting
to it.

How about linking the article to a menu item and giving the menu item it's
own unique template with all your formatting and the regular template stuff?

Shooting a mouse with an elephant gun?  ;-)

Now that I have the EasyTemplate working, I think I would like to demo it at
the next meeting instead of the Video sharing component.  It's very handy!
You can make a ton of your own editor buttons without backend coding.
