Firefox Persona

I love this idea.

I'm a huge fan of customization already, be it with my clothing or I-pad or anything, anyway i can make something more mine I'm all for. Plus i love the variety available in getting to select from a bank of skins "personas" that other people have made. I'm artistically talented (or at least i'd like to think so) but if your good at something then theirs always a thousand more people out there that make yours look like crap. and that's definately the case here as well, some of the options are just beautiful! far prettier than anything i could ever create.

Feedjit

Another thing that we had to get and add to our blogger pages was feedjit.

It shows who visits your page, but it doesn't give specifics. It'll just say "a visitor from ___ looked at your page ___ ___ ago". Its alright. I'm not sure of the point of it really, but I'm honestly not very interested in that sort of thing. The number of people viewing my page is tracked in stats and that's what i care about, I don't really need a catalog of visitors. I'm not that obsessive.
