Market Share has released figures for browser usage for the first quarter of 2009. It shows that Firefox has a market share of 21% with Internet Explorer coming in at 67%.

This is an important news because if you have not checked your website in Firefox you may lose 21% of your customers.

Firefox more strict when it comes to web standards, so you may find menu’s do not work or content is displayed incorrectly (but looks fine in Internet Explorer).

Download Firefox and check your website today.

PowerPoint has an annoying feature of hiding menu items which you don’t often use. You have to click on the double arrows at the bottom of the menus to reveal the other items.

To turn this off, choose TOOLs -> CUSTOMIZE, then Options and tick “Always show full menus”. While you are there, ticking “Show Standard and Formatting toolsbars on two rows” will allow you to access more options for both toolbars.

This is a handy piece of javascript code that adds the last two digits of the current year to the footer of a website. This saves time as you don’t have to keep updating the footer on all your pages.

&copy; Company name 2000&ndash;<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var now = (new Date().getFullYear()).toString();
var theYear = now.substring(now.length, 2);
document.writeln(theYear,".");
