For you poor souls pt2

Tab, oh the tabs -- Firefox (and Safari) has tabs. What is a tab and why is it so great you ask? Well my friend, have you ever gotten annoyed with having a bunch of windows open and trying to juggle all of them, needing a page you have opened when you have a good 10-20 open. In Firefox and Safari both support tabs and have made my life a little
easier. Sometimes if I am doing a lot of different things on the internet, I have a bunch of tabs but if I need to surf somewhere that is unrelated with everything else I am doing, I open a new window and go on from there.Tabs can be a life saver but can also get out of hand, so tab responsibly.
Here is an example of the tabs in motion. I have my blog page open but have tabs that go to Apple and Google.


Internet Explorer 7 is supposed to have the tabbing
feature, so it will only be an advantage for Firefox and Safari for a
little bit longer.

For you poor souls

For all you poor souls who are still using Internet Explorer (which is 60% of you), the next few posts will show you the light. Now there are alternatives out there and I just thought I would let you know about them. My first choice is Mozilla Firefox followed by Safari. Both are pretty comparable with very few minor differences (and Safari is for a Mac, which is only 15%of the people who look at this blog). The casual user will probably not even care, but for anyone who uses the internet even moderately will want to look into Firefox. I originally was going to write one post to tell all the benefits but I decided to split it up to keep it from getting too big. Each of the next few posts will discuss one of the following benefits:

--Tabs
--Live Bookmarks using RSS
--Extensions
--Web readability

This is not a comprhensive list. For a more indepth discussion on the benifits and drawbacks click on the logo below.

Growing Katelynn

Well she is growing, but probably only enough to be noticeable by her
parents, and is becoming so aware of her surroundings. She will track
objects and people as they move around her. She, as many babies we
hear, has a hard time in the evening. We enjoy the fun of having to
change a dirty diaper and as you get the diaper on, the diaper is
dirtied again (or even better, when she finishes going while you are
changing her). We got a swing from Jen's sister on Saturday. Katelynn
loves it and goes to sleep in a minute flat. You can't get her out of
the swing without her waking and throwing a fit. Her Umbilical cord finally completly fell of Tuesday morning. Ya, that's 4 weeks. They say 2 weeks, so whatever.
She is burping a lot better but recently hasn't been awake long enough
to burp. She has been sleeping a whole lot more the last couple days.
Monday night/Tuesday morning Katelynn went twice for 5 hours between
feedings.Then Tuesday morning, before I left for work, Jen was trying
to wake Katelynn up to feed her but Katelynn was having a hard time
waking up again. So we think (and hope) she is going through a growth
spurt.
Jen took Katelynn to JC Penny's to have some pictures taken of
Katelynn. She slept through the whole thing. We will put the pictures
up when we get them. They said 10-14 days. So we will see. All the ones
I have seen are the really low quality printed on a piece of paper.
Katelynn is a little cutie. We took some pictures of our own last
night. So here they are. Enjoy!
