Firefox Extensions for WordPress site development

December 24, 2009

Just had to share these two high-performing Fire­fox exten­sions, both of which live neatly in the left-hand side of your tray.

Col­orzilla is an eye­drop­per style color picker for Fire­fox. This prac­ti­cal exten­sion is great for quickly iden­ti­fy­ing the six digit hex code used through­out Word­Press Themes. It was invalu­able for totally trans­form­ing the core col­ors of Swift Theme on Linda Cure’s site from the sedate blue/grey default to a vibrant sporty blue/orange/yellow.

Mea­sureit 0.3.9 draws a ruler across any web­page to check the width, height, or align­ment of page ele­ments in pix­els. This is handy for mea­sur­ing the width of your side­bars so you can appro­pri­ately size your wid­gets, pic­tures, and other con­tent to fit.

I use these two exten­sions on every Word­Press site I’ve devel­oped and highly rec­om­mend both. Happy blogging!
