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; }
