Hello there (totd announcements and task list)...
- The tip set needs to be updated for 2008. New tips are needed, and existing tips need to be updated.
- The tip archive for 2007 has been completed.
- Help sort. The tip library has a section at the end with tips that need to be placed in the appropriate section on the page.
Tomorrow's tip of the day...
Wikipedia-specific searching with Firefox
In Firefox, the search box has a little pull down menu to allow you to choose which search engine it uses. Several popular search engines come included, but not Wikipedia. However, Firefox provides a page on their website listing more search engines you can add to that menu, including Wikipedia's search. To add Wikipedia, simply go here and click on Wikipedia in the list provided, and you're done. To activate it, pull-down the menu at the search box and click on Wikipedia there. Now you have a second Wikipedia search box. Unlike the search box in Wikipedia's sidebar, which disappears off the screen when you scroll down to read a long page, the Firefox search box always remains on the screen, ready to assist. (Keep in mind, typing <Alt>-F also places the cursor in the Wikipedia search box.)
