I just had a look at Flock and you’re right, I’m almost there with my browser!

LOL! If you’d like to accelerate that process then you could always use Flock!

Hi Paul,
The Aardvark plugin is excellent. I’m amazed at how much stuff is available for Firefox. My browser is eventually going to turn into one huge toolbar.

Thanks for the mention Paul! I loved that Goldberg family link, as I’m into things like that, as Lauren mentioned. Thanks for the link to the free vectors, as I am always looking for stuff like that.

Yes, Firebug is the one Tara recommended. Aardvark doesn’t use up any screen space? Well, I will need to try that one then! That is a disadvantage with Firebug.

I said I was going to make a chronological gallery when our first was born - but I didn’t get around to it! Mind you, we’ve shot more than 8000 photos of the three of them combined over a six year period - so we’re not doing too badly!

The colour match tutorial is great! I used the method earlier today, to correct a badly shot photo of a bar interior for a client - it worked wonderfully!

Firebug! That was the one I couldn’t remember - but Tara uses it too right? Yeah - they’re all very similar, but the bonus with Aardvark is that it doesn’t eat any screen space!

Wow, that photo collection is fascinating! I like Randa’s one of her son, too. I’m going to do that with my kids (if I remember!).

Thanks for sharing that Vecteezy site. I took a look at their Brusheezy collection, too. Definitely bookmarking those! Always good to have resources like that.

Whoa! I love that tutorial about the match color feature in Photoshop. I never even knew that existed. I’m going to have to try that. Cool!

I like the Firebug extension for Firefox, too. It sounds like it does a lot of the same things Aardvark does.

No problem Jem! Good sites need to be plugged more often, otherwise everyone forgets about them in the onslaught of crap ones!

Aardvark’s pretty cool. It doesn’t do *everything* that Web Developer does, but it certainly excels at highlighting a page’s building blocks!

I liked the firefox plugin Web-Developer, but this new Aardvark seems a whole lot better!!

I’ll also check out Tutorialtastic - as you said, most tutorials are aimed at the US, makes a change to have one thats different!!
