Introduction to Using Firebug

If you’ve not been fol­low­ing the Thesis com­mu­nity lately, then you have missed the dawn of Thesis video sup­port. I hope to cre­ate and pub­lish all sorts of offi­cial DIYthemes videos, but already video sup­port has moved beyond Chris [amp] myself with a great video from Kristarella on using Firebug to do var­i­ous style inspec­tion, test­ing, and learn­ing. I highly rec­om­mend the video if you’re new to styling your site. Oh, and as always, if you’re not using Thesis to power your blog, you’re miss­ing out!

  1. Hi Rick, I enjoyed the video and like the look of Firefly (though I’ve tried to use it it the past and couldn’t get it work­ing I think i’ll try again) my ques­tion is what are you using to edit your cus­tom css in the video, I use front page but what you used looks better?

    I use Macromedia Dreamweaver — it’s fairly expen­sive, but it does every­thing I could want — site man­age­ment, file trans­fer, code hints, syn­tax high­light­ing, and more.

    Although, I’d rec­om­mend Microsoft Notepad before ever rec­om­mend­ing Frontpage, unless it’s gone through mon­u­men­tal improve­ments since my hav­ing used it back in ‘00.

    @Annie: I rec­om­mend Aptana Studio. The com­mu­nity edi­tion is free and has all the fea­tures you’d expect from an Adobe prod­uct. It is based on the pop­u­lar Eclipse IDE, but a lot lighter.
