Firefox Plugin Writer Needed

7/7/2006

Firefox LogoI need someone to write a very, very silly Firefox plug-in – for free. It’s going to be a little high concept and a little bit of a novelty.

I can offer a share of the revenue that the plugin generates (if any). Although I don’t want to sell the plugin, I’m pretty sure there’s a way to generate ad revenue from the main site that the extension is linked to/through.

The plugin is going to, above all, be an artistic and hobby-ish endeavor. For selfish reasons, I can’t disclose exactly what I need it to do. In essence, it will parse the text of the user’s current web page and return information, via a small CSS-styled overlay, based on not only the current page’s content but also based on the user’s previous cumulated browsing history.

This is, for better or for worse, another one of my crackpot ideas which:
1. I am not skilled enough to implement on my own
2. may generate a decent amount of sustainable web traffic
3. probably won’t garner you (or me) much fame or fortune

If you’re interested, enjoy crackpot ideas and think you’re up to the task, please post in the comments or email me at: scott[at]plasticbugs.com

Thanks!

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone could help. I did something stupid and started my blog using a numerical archive system, and now I'd like to change it so that the post title is part of the URL for SEO reasons. Is there any Wordpress plugins that anyone knows of that could switch it without sending Googlers to invalid pages? Maybe some sort of redirector to the correct page?

Thanks.
