Custom Keywords
- Bookmarklets for a Better Life (tm)! These bookmarklets are things I find useful, YMMV. Some of them are made by Jesse Ruderman <http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/>. In case you're wondering what the 'janbm_' things in the JavaScript bookmarklets are about: those are labels in JavaScript, and don't do anything. They make it easy to style individual bookmarklets using userChrome.css, e.g.:
#PersonalToolbar .bookmark-item[statustext^="javascript:janbm_next"]
{
font-weight: bold;
}
