I don’t know why, but some people prefer to have a splash screen appear, as an application is loading. Netscape has one, the Mozilla application Suite has one, but Firefox does not.

The Blogger.com atom feed will probably continue to be updated by Blogger.com, but I’d rather people use the FeedBurner feed. I’ll change [...]
If you use the address book in Mozilla Thunderbird, you’ll notice a little button that appears in Address area of the Card Summary Pane, entitled Get Map.
