Day 1 without the Google Toolbar and the Page Rank Display (lol)

October 29th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

24 hours after removing the Google Toolbar I feel great. No shaky hands to see the PR of a website I am visiting. Going green does not mean needing that little green bar in my browser. ;) I looked around and I am trying the live.com toolbar at the moment. The Live.com toolbar is actually much more sophisticated then the Google Toolbar and a lot of custom plugins are available. Definitely something where Google dropped the ball in my opinion. I found the form auto-fill plugin and it works great. There is also a Google Services plugin, but it throws errors, so I had to deactivate that one. Going to the Live.com toolbar also gave me some ‘real estate’ back to my browser window which is actually pretty nice. The whole toolbar thing is actually not a big deal since I barely used it to check Google Page Rank anyway. The long delayed PR update turned out to be pretty good. I hope they really remove the PR display so that we webmasters can go back and concentrate on the real thing. ;)

I updated some of the website layout and added a big fat RSS feed button to the template. Please subscribe.
