A small gift for the 4 minutes
After marking the 3rd anniversary of this blog I thought about how I can give something back to the blogger / viewer community out their and here is the result of it.
Introducing MvBlogosphere companion extension for Firefox!.
Here's what this extension will let you do (when you are on mvblogs.org):
- Lets you select which blogs you want listed when you load mvblogs.org. In other words, lets you hide some blogs you don't want to read.
- Lets you mark or highlight some blogs that you find interesting. The blogs will be highlighted every time you load mvblogs.org providing you with an easy way to locate your favourite blogs with a glance.
- Let you hide the Flickr photo area. If you are like me, you'd want this (sorry Flickrers, don't worry your feature is next).
- Lets you hide the blogs listing area (for people who want to view just the Flickr photos)
- Lets you display the Favicon beside the blog post titles on the blogs listing
The hiding and the highlighting of blogs will take effect immediately and will remain until you remove highlighting (by clicking on the 'gray' highlight icon of the highlighted blog post) even after you reload. For unhiding blogs, you'd need to manually edit the list in the MvBlogosphere Options window.
Click here to see what mvblogs.org may look like after installation of this extension.

But please read some of the instructions first. Click here for instructions.
There is so much more that can be incorporated into this extension and if I have the time I will put them in. Meanwhile, if you think of a cool feature let me know.
So yeah, thank you all for visiting this blog and taking the time to read and comment. This is for you.

primary0, if you use internet explorer you won't be able to use this script.
Jimbo, this is very much like greasemonkey.
Reflex, no it can't hide Nass' comments.
