Poll: Weekly Browsers Recap
I’d like to hear your opinions about weekly browsers recap. Here’s what I think: instead of linking to all the news articles, I would cover them in this blog.

In case you were wondering about the decreased amount of news, etc…
Basically, I was balancing between studying/trading Forex and my studies at the University. As you have noticed, this lead into the “late/no news” situation.
Anyhow, it’s time to move on. Therefore, I have decided to quit studies (at the University) and focus on things I enjoy doing. As George Shinn said: “Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.”
P.S. I will continue studying English to improve my writing :-)
So, give me a day or two to sort everything out and we are ready to go.

While Web Inspector is not intended to replace Firebug, it can be used for basic tasks, such as: elements identification or site structure overview.
