If you aren’t using Firebug yet, you should be
We’ve decided that if it cost money, we would pay for Firebug.
Since I installed it, I’ve found myself tweaking a lot of designs in Firebug. It’s especially helpful if you want to see what a page would look like with our without specific styles or if you can’t figure out why certain elements are getting styled the way they are. Sometimes, when I want to add an element to ShackPrices, I find the element I want to add it to and start editing the html in Firebug. It’s incredible how much more productive I can be with instant feedback (4px padding? no 5px looks better). When I’m done, I just cut and paste the html into Vim.
Additionally, for you ajax nerds, Firebug shows you the contents and type of every ajax call and the contents of the response, so you don’t have to spend as much time looking at your logs.
If you aren’t using it already, give it a try.
