Scan CSS properties on any website with Chrome

Posted: 25 May 2010 10:18 AM PDT

A blogger starts usually with an idea he or she wants to share with others. Some of us end up writing on a Blogger platform and get wiser and migrate to Wordpress. Almost every professional blogger knows a bit of code or atleast some HTML basics. CSS is obviously the most important part of your website as it basically shows how your website looks. It is the front end skeleton in other words. CSS borders basically give your website the look it has.

Here is a great Chrome extension which allows you to scan any webpage and CSS elements to reveal their properties.

About CSScan

This extension called CSScan allowed me to look up any text or box in a website and a pop up would show with its CSS properties.
This extension is a great way to look up exact what font was used or the exact color to get a quick work around for hours of trial and error.
The extension only displays these properties and does not grab CSS details for you to copy or paste. Just clicking once on the CSScan icon shows up the CSS properties as you roll over the mouse on any webpage.

CSScan is of great use for quick ideas on CSS properties which you can look up by just rolling over the mouse. If you are new to CSS then I guess this extension will be quite useful. If you liked reading this you might also like to read up copy-paste ready made HTML Tags and also creating vertical and horizontal menus without coding language.

Google Reader stops offline support and recommends FeedDemon

Posted: 25 May 2010 02:05 AM PDT

Google today announced that it is shutting down offline support for Google Reader showing first signs of doing away with Google Gears. Google has also come up with changes overall to Google Reader and its privacy settings for sharing online.

Google Readers has stopped offline support and actually recommended Windows users to use Feed Demon. This is probably because either they find it Feed Demon has far too many loyalists who would want to migrate to an offline Google Reader. Also Google Reader might be concentrating on developing new ideas like Google Reader Play.
Google Reader also will have you choose if what you share with Google Reader can be made public or you would want it to be private.

Finally Google Reader has decided not to support older browsers which are IE6, Firefox 2.0 and even Chrome version 3.0 will not be supported.

I guess Google Reader is planning on newer and better options to keep it web centric and with new options for us to allow comments on shared items public and private I guess Google plans to make Reader into a dynamic social tool for sharing feeds and links very much like social networks. I guess this could mean life wont be easy for social bookmarking websites either.

What are your thoughts on where Google Reader will go? Do let me know through your comments.
