Bookmarkify 0.9.9

This release of Bookmarkify includes a change that will significantly reduce the size of the More Window, improving page download times.

In previous versions of Bookmarkify the styles for the More Window were coded inline causing it to be much larger than it needed to be.  Now the styles for the More Window are included in a new file, “more.css”.  This change reduces the size of the first widget on a page by about 20K and additional widgets by 25K each.  For example, any page that shows the widget 5 times - as is common for many blog index pages - will now be about 120K smaller, resulting in faster page loads.  And because the styles have been moved to their own file, most browsers will cache it resulting in even faster loads for subsequent page views.

This change will also have additional benefits moving forward such as the ability to create new themes for the More Window.

Visit the Bookmarkify Page here to download the latest version.

This is a significant improvement over previous versions and I highly recommend upgrading.  This version has been tested well and remains a release candidate.  If you have problems with this version, please let me know either by commenting on this post or by contacting me directly.

Given the layout of the Bookmarkify window there are two positions available for additional social bookmark and network sites.  If you have any suggestions for which sites should fill them, please post your suggestions.

If you have other suggestions for how to improve Bookmarkify prior to the official 1.0 release, please post those as well.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Download

Mozilla initiated their attempt to break a download record today with the official release of Mozilla Firefox 3.0.

It seems that this has put a significant load on their server preventing many from downloading the setup.

To help those that would like to get Firefox 3.0 now I have created a mirror download on this site.

Download Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Here.

Bookmarkify 0.9.8

Bookmarkify 0.9.8 is now available for download.

Prior to this release there was an issue that caused an unformatted string of text - actually the “tagless” version of the Widget - to appear at the bottom of excerpts. This only occurred in situations where no explicit excerpt had been written and the post’s content included less then 120 characters of text.

This release corrects the issue by suppressing the Bookmarkify widget from appearing in excerpts.

You can download the release from the Bookmarkify Page.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about Bookmarkify.

Have a great weekend!!
