Rip, Mix, and Burn web pages
We talked about ways to make your life easier with Firefox, and now there's some powerful new ways to hack the web pages you view, to customize the display of documents or extend and personalize web applications.
If you're familiar with the Greasemonkey extension we explained in the last post, then you'll understand why Dive Into Greasemonkey, the new guide from Mark Pilgrim, is going to be an indispensable resource.
Once you've read over the excellent examples in the book, check out Platypus. The Firefox extension will let you tweak and hack a page to your heart's desire, and then save the modifications as a Greasemonkey extension. If you really want to share your work with the broadest range of Firefox users, you can even follow the link in our last post and compile your script into a true Firefox extension.
If you've got customizations for TypePad, LiveJournal, Movable Type, or TypeKey, let us know, and we'll be glad to share them with the community.
