Since I work with a lot of developers and one thing I had in mind is, if we use firebug to optimize and tweak our pages why don’t I tell my visitors and readers about it.
What is firebug?
Firebug is firefox bug resolver for all kind of pages , you can debug all you problems with css and html with it right on your firefox. Developers before would use different tools to do that, and hat to edit files to see how their optimization works. Now with firebug you can do that live, what I mean by that, if your page have white background and you would like to see how it will look in black without changing any files you can do that with firebug now.
Also it helps html and css beginners to explore the world of web development without messing around with backups and actual files.
I use firebug on all of my pages and it’s turned on all the time, I even give advices to other webadmins and bloggers on what they could do to make changes, and firebug gives me the power to do that.
What does firebug have to do with blogging?
Well it has a lot! You can even make more money using firebug, you can optimize seo for your wordpress or any other blog software. You can change wordpress theme completely and after you are done, all you got to do is copy paste the changes into your actual files. You want your sidebar to be 120 or 125? Done!
Here is couple of words from firebug website:
Firebug is always just a keystroke away, but it never gets in your way. You can open Firebug in a separate window, or as a bar at the bottom of your browser. Firebug also gives you fine-grained control over which websites you want to enable it for.
Inspect and edit HTML
Firebug makes it simple to find HTML elements buried deep in the page. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, Firebug gives you a wealth of information, and lets you edit the HTML live.
Monitor network activity
Your pages are taking a long time to load, but why? Did you go crazy and write too much JavaScript? Did you forget to compress your images? Are your ad partner’s servers taking a siesta? Firebug breaks it all down for you file-by-file

@hannamhel: Well you can’t what you do is you make changes and then you go to your original template from admin dashboard under presentation>themes editor
Find files you corrected like in my case i corrected CSS
okay im using fiebug but i dont know how to save the changes that ive made to a page. plzz help me!!
oh,it look very good,but cant css
you can’t really get to save it directly.. what you’ll do is find out what is the div id and when you already know, you can now go to your css file and make the changes in there..
