Newbie to Ninja
Happy Dave has a great (HUGE) series on how to make sense of the modern web. His first post discussed the software applications and tweaks one might consider adding to their systems to put together a good internet use experience.
His latest post is about making sense of the web using Firefox. It’s a nice, conversational-toned piece about what Firefox does right out of the install, and then some good links to useful resources. Here’s a sample of the writing style Dave uses to explain things:
Right, great, you’re back. Let’s try out your new extension, and, at the same time, show you another Firefox feature. If you’re an Internet Explorer veteran of any length of time, you’ll have your bookmarks (sorry, Favourites) organised in folders, which should have been imported across when you installed Firefox. Go to your Bookmarks menu, then select a folder with between 5 and 10 items in it. Select the option ‘Open in Tabs’.
As a full-on Firefox user (nay, ZEALOT), I’m excited to read such a friendly piece.

A must-have extension for anyone who uses multiple computers, this keeps your bookmarks in sync. (I’m presently using it to sync across four computers, without difficulties)

Is that any better than the del.icio.us extention?

Just wanted to say that Dave is also going to be doing a beginners (absolute beginner!) series on my site.
He has helped me a lot recently, not only building my site but also we have skyped several times and he has talked me through the functions and features of my blog.
He has and continues to be a real asset (and a good friend too!).
Thanks Dave, and thanks Chris for recognising the talent.

Aw, shucks!
Thanks for the links – that series is going to keep on running. I also intend to do a more in-depth look at some of the extensions I run pretty soon, as well as the absolute beginners series that Erica mentioned.
