Firebug - Website Development Tool Extraordinaire
From time to time wandering the web you come across gems along the pathway - I found one yesterday.
I was on the website of Jörn Kretzschmar, looking for help on the nice dKret WordPress theme he had developed, and noticed he mentioned a tool called “Firebug“.
OK, all you heavy duty web-coding guys are most likely saying “yeah, I knew about Firebug when it was pre-alpha version 0.01″ - you may close your browsers and leave
For the rest of us, and I am thinking particularly of the WordPress blogging community, Firebug is a great tool for checking and analysing any website pages. Got a problem with that new theme? What you can’t find out with this tool doesn’t matter!
It installs in Firefox as a plug-in and allows you to inspect HTML, CSS, website layout, network activity (how long each component of a web page takes to load) and much, much more.
If this sounds like a tool you need - you know who you are - just get it!
