Ooh. The ruler was very nice. So nice that it gets to live in my bookmark bar.

no need to refresh to turn off the ruler:
"Gecko users can simply press any key to get rid of it, but Safari folks will have to double-click somewhere in the window"

The "edit styles" bookmarklet doesn't work. I had this problem the last time I tried to put it up in my blog too, but fixed that by disabling any text formatting in MT.

smarty pants was messing around with it... the only way I could get round it was wrapping the link in a code tag...

If you like the ruler, and are on PC, check out this little beauty of a utility:

It's called Meazure, it's free, and is an absolutely essential addition to any web design toolkit.

The ruler is awesome, and I noticed the double-click thing. Nice.
Couldn't get Edit CSS to work (Safari).
800x600 is great, and there are lots of other resolutions at www.favelets.com. I personally have a set of resolutions in a folder on Safari's bookmark bar. I just click the button, and there's a pulldown with about any resolution I'd want to test in. Quite handy.

As far as I know the "Edit CSS" bookmarklet only works in Mozilla.
That’s all right though because everyone uses Mozilla right?
