A new /musings/ feature for Mozilla users.  I'm using XBL to augment divs with a container attribute (container[closed="false"]) so that they can be collapsed and expanded.  For the unitiated, this allows me to separate entirely the behavior code from the presentation and offers a useful level of modularity. I've still got to add some hover feedback to convey the affordance.  Drop me a line if you'd like to use the script. If you're using Mozilla, click here! This is essentially the code from the hive rendering, with "Radio" generating the appropriate div's. 7:50:18 PM    comment

Rolling the Blogs Lots of talk about blogrolling out there in the blogdom, I have worked hard to optimize the mozilla browser specifically for this situation. The gestures plugin has a "finishing move", right-up-left, that opens all links moused over since the mouse down that started the gesture. The links open in tabs within a single browser window. This makes surfing a vertical link list, or blogroll, extremely easy. Once you've got the tabs open, you switch to the last tab, and ctrl-w to close the tab as you finish with each blog. Links can be dragged from the blog to the tab-bar if you want to spend more time on the current page. Lots more gestures for managing tabs are available. 7:42:44 PM    comment
