Google Toolbar for Firefox is a nice tool for bloggers with its “Spell Check” option. Here’s a print screen of it’s usage.
It is now easier to correct our posts. Be it in English, Portuguese or in other 9 languages.
Also worth of note is the plugins “Read Me” humor. Before you install the toolbar it says: “Please read this as it is not the usual yada yada”.
Folks at WordPress are already asking “Who’ll be the first to rewrite the AJAX spell checker for WordPress to use this web service instead of the PHP pspell extension?“
Has anyone tested this in Mac’s Firefox 1.0.4 ? Mine is crashing when the Google’s dialog appear, asking for default google URL (com/uk/de/pt/etc) and to enable PageRank. I had to go to the ~/Library and remove the extension.
I had some troubles installing it directly from google’s website. Although “allow sites to install software” option was activated on FF, I kept getting a “file unknown error”. I downloaded the extension to my hard drive and then dragged it into FF. It worked.
