Add ons



Firefox add ons can be very helpful and fun, and everything in between.  The one I installed is called Destroy the Web. When you click on it, you will be able to click everything on the page to destroy it, and you get points for everything you destroy.  There is such a different variety to choose from.  You can search one if you are looking for a specific one, or choose one from a category or a popular tag.  They show them from recently added, top downloads, and top rated.  So if you look at those, you'll be able to browse and/or choose from the many popular ones.  As you can see to the left, -------------->
 there are all of the categories, and how many are in those certain categories.
Most likely, you will be able to choose the exact one you want.

Favicon

Favicons are little pictures that are put in place to the left of the url.  There are many to choose from.  You can create your own, or you can choose from one created by a different person.  Usually on blogger, there is a little white B, but now on my blog I've changed it to stars.  There are many websites to pick from to get your own Favicon.  Then all you have to do is copy and paste a url.  It's way simple.

TOOLS

I love having a background for my blog.  There are so many different styles to choose from.  One site that is very useful is www.thecutestblogontheblock.com.  On that site, you can choose from a bunch of categories on the side, or you can type a keyword in to find a style of your choice.  Then when you find one that you want, you just copy the html and then paste it in the gadget section of your blogger.  Other useful blog background sites that I found were www.blogblings.com and www.hotbliggityblog.com

Domain

Domains are the address to the website.  Such as google.com or facebook.com.  Or other sites with different endings, like .gov, .net, .org, and so on and so on.  For the domain, there can only be one, you cannot have the same domain twice.  I got to look through GoDaddy.com and see all of the domains and available to use.  You can type what domain you want and see if it is available.  There is also an auction list of all of the domains you can buy.  I found one as cheap as $5 and one expensive as $350,00.
