i had the same problems everyone was having. i was about to throw my computer out the window in frustration and curse until the cows came home. then i figured it was probably not meant to run on IIS. i emailed them right away to switch me over to Unix, and surely, it is five minutes!

good job, cookiepuss. i’d just like to add a few things:

some sites do in fact need to have a different character set, but if you’re working with only European languages, you’re fine with

queryEncoding=”ISO-8859-1″
queryCharset=”ISO-8859-1″

(i only mention this cuz i write some Chinese and Japanese plugins for myself… this might be useful for, i dunno.. the 1 person on this site who has a blog in Korean, Cyrillic or Arabic… ) for a complete list of encoding, here:
https://a4esl.org/c/charset.html

also, be sure to save your file as ANSI text, not UTF or Unicode, cuz Firefox’d be like “nuh-uh. i don’t know what that is.”

you also need to Photoshop up a 16×16 pixel icon. you can save it as a GIF, JPG, or PNG. don’t use JPG cuz at that small size, you won’t get any size savings. (the file may actually be slightly bigger than if you used GIF). i prefer to use PNG… it’s slightly bigger than GIF, but it’s an open, patent-free format. no greedy company controls the licensing for it (unlike GIF). PNG-24 since it’s great for multiple levels of transparencies (GIF & PNG-8 can have only 1 transparent color).

anyhoo, email me at zmei snailmark sugarcloud period com if you have questions.

hi Carla, your site’s search doesn’t seem to be working. i ran a search and got a 404 error. try for yourself.

and also, you should link the “hauntedpalace.net” graphic to the homepage to make it easier to get back there. lemme know when you have the search fixed and i’ll whip up a plugin for you if Nickross hasn’t already given it to you.

hey all, i’m new here. got an email from Jinsan saying someone wanted some help with Firefox plugins. they’re ridiculously easy to write. head over to https://mycroft.mozdev.org/deepdocs.html to learn how to write your own.

if a site has a GET method, you can make a plugin. if it has POST, you’re screwed (although i’ve been able to write plugins for many sites that use POST as well).

anyone got a WP blog site they need a plugin for? i’ll write a few as examples and i’m sure you can edit it quite easily from there. i’ve made one for the support forums while writing this email. you can get it at my site:
