I'm delighted you thought it was worth posting about! I dunno' about "library David Rothman," though. I don't really mind, but the e-book/teleread David Rothman is pretty well-known among libraryfolk. I've actually been toying with the idea of a "David Rothman disambiguation page" for this reason. :) Gosh- thanks, Walt! I’m delighted you thought it was worth posting about!

OK, the MPOW bit is strange but not surprising. MPOW, on the other hand, advises us to use FF, especially if we have admin privileges on our computers, and also blocks the IE7 install (for good reasons: It breaks some key applications). (My post refers to you as "the library David Rothman." Hope you don't mind.) I’ve just done a short post linking to this one as a first-rate visual instruction.

It is true that my tools menu is a bit on the long side. I love Firefox, and have a great time playing with new extensions. Perhaps in a future post I'll join the hundreds of bloggers who have posted their "Essential Firefox Extensions" list. :) Of course, I can't use Firefox at MPOW (forbidden by the IS department), so I'm trying to work out how to make IE7 do some of the tricks at work that Firefox does for me at home. (This assumes that MPOW will eventually adopt IE7. I know we're going to be blocking its install as of 11/1/2006.) Stay tuned. I'll post a "how-to" on "one-click" subscriptions in IE7 to BlogLines later today. Always great to hear from you, Walt. Best, -David Hi Walt!

I don't consider myself particularly Firefox-savvy, but I do know that Tools/Options is usually a good place to do anything interesting...on many applications. Somehow, I remember it as being even easier than that, but maybe not. On the other hand, your Tools menu is longer than the average bear's, if the average bear isn't particularly FF-savvy: Mine, for example, only has eight choices, with Options... at the bottom.
