How to insert timestamps into web forms using Firefox plugin |
While in the process of updating archive posts and fixing dead/expired/changed links reported by the broken link checker, I needed something that would quickly insert the timestamp of my changes without me having to type it into the forms. I chose the Firefox plugin Timestamp which allows user defined formats.
If you are perusing the archive posts and seeing these newly added footnotes, you might note that I’m also coding the dead links by domain name. This is so that I can query the database in the future and see what domains are the worst offenders of expiring/changing their links.
Did this post make you go hmm?




I adore FF and its plug-ins, but have been having major issues with FF crashing the past week or so. I found a forum where others are having the same problem. I really don’t want to give up FF so I hope that the problem is addressed soon. I hate locking up 20 times a day!
