Get Firefox!

My advice to anyone who hasn't used Firefox: You're missing the sweetest tool you can imagine.

I had heard of it but was kind of hesitant to try it. Didn't want to screw up my computer's settings, etc.

I read several reviews of it and looked at their site. I downloaded and installed it. My first concern had been that it would make my Internet Explorer unusable, or change it's settings. I wanted to be able to UN-try it if I didn't like it.

As it turns out Firefox doesn't do anything to your Explorer. It's there and you can browse the web with either tool.

But I've been using Firefox the last couple of years & I never even bother with Explorer.

There are really too many great reasons why Firefox is better but I'd have to say the main ones are these:

NO ADS. None. zip. No one is paying them to place ads. Firefox is created by the Mozilla project and supported by the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organization.

It's infinitely customizable in how it looks, how it works and what you can get it to do.

And one of the very remarkable treats is that when you add on or remove a feature it installs or uninstalls instantly. So you can try out different Add Ons and rapidly determine if they work well for you or not. No hassles.

Once you've used Firefox for a week or so Internet Explorer just doesn't cut it anymore.

Welcome to this blog


This is the first posting. I wanted to use to sort of get a feel for the page style and the tools.

It's about imagination and ways to expand on your creativity. Tools found that really work the way you want them to, sometimes even better.
