JL, 06 May 2008 Zotero
I don't know how I missed this one. Don't get around enough I guess. I said I wouldn't harp on about Firefox anymore but I just hafta. As if there aren't already enough reasons for switching browsers, here's one more and this is the King of them all. You can't possibly, as a self-respecting genealogist, not want to use this. It's impossible. Zotero is a Mozilla extension for creating a library of your online research and source citations, to be used online or offline. 
It's
a genealogist's dream-machine. Go watch the
video
tour and video demo. Watch them both.
It'll only take a few minutes. Then come back and
write me a thank-you (just kidding) and then Get Firefox
 (not
kidding.)
To use Zotero
you
will have to be using Firefox 2 (or Netscape or Flock).
It will not work
in Internet Explorer. After you have your Mozilla browser and
Zotero
installed, go back and watch
the 14 other Zotero video tutorials.

Boy I wish I shared your enthusiasm for Firefox but it's nothing but a headache for me as a designer. I can design a page and preview it in IE 7.x and it looks great first time, every time. But when I preview in Firefox it's a disaster that requires reworking and reworking and reworking. As a user, I prefer Firefox. It's my browser of choice. But as a web site designer, I HATE IT! Jasia (Can you tell I have mixed feelings? ;-) 06 May 2008 Well, you know, as my readers have heard, ad nauseum, my design headaches have been the other way around. Everything looks fine in Firefox, a train-wreck in IE. Some of that has been my fault, but not all of it. Something that takes 8 line spaces in Firefox will take 13 in IE and throw a whole page out of whack. I'd like to blow it up with dynamite! Perhaps you refer to design CSS-style which I've seen over at your place having visited once or twice. I was thinking of going that way if I ever have time. Now having heard from you, perhaps not. Anyway, don't let all this put you off Zotero. Just get Firefox and do it. |
