Big resource post.

1) Multiple icon uploader

Exactly what it says - will upload multiple icons so you don't have to.

[For Windows] [For Mac] - both files hosted by lena

Keywordable version
[For Windows] [For Mac]

• Instructions for use (Win) - put all your icons in the folder, double click 'upl.bat' and type in your username and password
• Instructions for use (Mac) - put all your icons in the folder, ctrl-click 'upload.sh,' open with > terminal and type in your username and password
• Instructions for keywording - name the icon what you want its keyword to be before uploading
• Instructions for editing (for use at GJ or LJ) - edit the program using notepad or textedit (NOT WORD) and change every instance of insanejournal to livejournal or greatestjournal

NOTE Windows Vista Users
You must do the following for the uploader to work (info courtesy of flint)
start --> control panel --> user accounts --> turn user account control on/off --> unclick use User Account Control

** I would suggest turning UAC back on when you are finished uploading. It is a function of Vista that limits privileges of non-authorised programs (i.e. malware) so they can't mess with your system. **

2) LJ/GJ/IJ/JF login

Stores all your usernames for all supported LJ clones simultaneously (firefox only)

Edited LJlogin (for use with New Site Schemes or Scribbld):

5) Adblockers

• Adblock Plus (Firefox)

Install and restart your browser

• Quero Toolbar (IE7)

Download, install, restart browser; click the quero logo and select the 'block ads' and 'block popups' options (screencap); you can then hide the toolbar if you don't want to use it by right clicking the toolbar and deselecting quero (screencap)

• Safari AdBlock (Safari)

Download and install

• Adblock Filter (Opera 9)

Open urlfilter.ini (you can find this file by clicking here and copying the address - make sure to take out the quotes); copy the contents of the filter and paste them under the [exclude]; close Opera; save the ini file; restart Opera

6) Worksafe CSS fixes

My edits to the Worksafe CSS (stylish + firefox)

	I think you just became my hero with that multiple icon uploader link. Thank you! (Reply to this)

	FYI, I have a more permanent link to the icon uploader thing here for Windows and here for Mac on my server. Feel free to pass it around. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sweet! I'll link those to my post with credit to you - these are both for IJ, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I don't want to sound completely dumb, but how does it work? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You're not dumb :) I added instructions in case anyone gets confused in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I know that someone on my flist is having trouble getting hers to work with Vista, too, so there might be something going on there. :/ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
