Free Traffic Tips

hought you might want to know the origins of Halloween – and what, exactly does the phrase “Trick or Treat” mean?

Halloween is known and loved today as a time to wear costumes, go door to door asking for candy, and watch monster movies. But the holiday’s origins go back centuries to the enactment of All Saints’ Day, a Christian holiday. Along the way, it has also picked up traditions from Samhain, a Celtic festival celebrating the start of winter.

All Saints’ Day

The name “Halloween” began as “All Hallows Eve.” This became “All Hallow E’en,” leading to “Hallowe’en,” or Halloween. It was the evening before All Hallows Day, which was later called All Saints’ Day. (In this case, “hallows” meant “saints.”)

This is the last of the “Eight Web Developer Must Have Firefox Extensions” – but all good things (sometimes) must come to an end.  If you’re visiting this site for the first time, you’ll find the previous7 must have extensions simply by using the ‘way back machine’ to visit the last 3 Fridays.  Thanks.

Firebug – This is probably the most important web development tool. This Firefox add-on allows you to browse and tweak HTML, CSS and JavaScript on a desired web page and preview the changes on the fly. It places an icon on the right-side of the status bar that informs you of errors in a web page. When you click on the icon it opens up a window that displays the line in which the error is found – this way it is easy to track errors on your web pages. In the Inspect mode hover with your mouse over a desired element and it will display all the codes that generate that element much better than using the Page source that most browsers offer. It takes a whole page to write on FireFTP.

There’s just two more “Eight Web Developer Must Have Firefox Extensions” left.

Here’s number two of eight.

FireFTP is a Firefox add-on that turns your browser into a full-featured FTP client. FireFTP opens up in a new tab that offers a two-panel interface that permits you to browse and transfer files between the remote server and your local PC.
This FTP client is easy to use, so just try it out.
Its major draw back is that unfortunately it still does not support SFTP or SSH.  (I haven’t checked out whether FireFox 3.0 and above has fixed this).
