Lunascape - A Web Designer Tool
November 25, 2008 by Andy Brudtkuhl · 3 Comments
Are you a web designer that has the luxury frustration of doing cross browser testing? Are you in charge of cross browser testing your websites? Well look no further than Lunascape 2.0. It’s a web browser that allows you to change rendering engines on the fly in one application. You can test what your design looks like in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome. There is also built-in screen scraping so you if you aren’t a designer you can easily send those random IE design issues to your designer much easier.
Pros
- Test all major browsers in one application
- Easily switch between rendering engines
- Built in screen capture
- Built in RSS reader
- Customizable skins
- Plugin Community
Cons
- No Mac version (boooo!)
- No plugin support (sucks for Firefox users)

Blogging With ScribeFire
November 15, 2008 by Andy Brudtkuhl · Leave a Comment
Ever since I started blogging again after my hiatus, ScribeFire has been my tool of choice. It’s a Firefox plugin with a hugely powerful blogging application inside. I can say that it has helped me become a much more efficient blogger and it allows me to quickly write posts.
It has all the features you would expect in a blogging tool. There is a great editor - allowing you to format your posts in several ways. There are buttons to load stuff straight from Flickr and YouTube. You can upload images, tag and categorize posts, post drafts, schedule publishing, and FTP uploads. As you can tell there are some awesome feature. A favortite of mine is the preview feature that allows you to preview the post as if it were on your blog.
ScribeFire Blog Editor enables users to easily drag and drop formatted text from the web into their blog(s), post entries, take notes, and optimize their ad inventory directly through the Firefox browser.
