I can't believe I had to add this. Add new stuff TO THE BOTTOM!!! The + sign next to edit automatically does this.

Static Version

Please discuss the static version at SFX here. You are free to add comments on this kb if sfx goes down, and please copy them over when it's back. --Me at work 11:53, 2 Dec 2004 (PST)

Hello

Hey guys. --Me at work 18:09, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

phew....i gotta take a rest *yawns* cya guys --LouCypher

Use Mozillazine's wiki

If you're going to create wiki pages related to spreading firefox, I don't think here is the right place. Mozillazine's wiki, which uses the mediawiki software that is used here at wikipedia, would probably be better. SFx's own wiki might be better still. --172.188.197.64 (talk) (Contributions)

I disagree. Mozillazine has less outreach than wikipedia, so by spreading firefox on my user page here, i'm actually spreading it, instead of holding it tightly out of reach of the common people. Plus wikipedia is faster. Oh yeah and when did SFx get a wiki? That was suggested earlier today, they chose horribly at the software to run it. is this you? --Me at work 00:07, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thumbnails?

Should we put in thumbnails? I think it would look better that way.--FlamesOP 11:40, 24 Oct 2004 (PDT)

Good idea. But I like the way it is. It's faster without thumbnails isn't it? --LouCypher 14:03, 24 Oct 2004 (PDT)
If you put in the height and width tags, the images load last (I think). That way, you could get the best of both worlds. Plus, you won't have to go clicking around on other websites only to find out that you don't like that image.--FlamesOP 15:25, 24 Oct 2004 (PDT)
We'd have to upload all the images and we don't have the ability to upload them to wikipedia. I don't think remote images work. <img src="http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif" alt="Google" height="110" width="276"> see... wtf. it's just the url, it didn't make the img src part disappear. Bug in the wiki software I say. --Me at work 19:02, 25 Oct 2004 (PDT)


The better way to make a thumbnail is to make a smaller version of the image you want to link to. This is for example: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/zoolcar9/FireFox/ffmatrix.gif (click the image)
If you use the height and width tags, the loading time is as long as if you open the image with its actual size. Also it's because the height and width tags doesn't work here ^_^ --LouCypher 11:39, 26 Oct 2004 (PDT)
I'm shocked! I didn't know that just by using a url of a image that it shows the image. Here's a pony. Oh google. How you are fickle. --Me at work 09:08, 29 Oct 2004 (PDT)
I just checked back, what I meant above was making a small version and then putting in the height and width.--FlamesOP 16:47, 7 Nov 2004 (PST)
"...only to find out that you don't like that image." you were right about it, but most of the materials here are graphics. Adding thumbnails will only make this page slower. How about adding direct-link to the images instead? -- LouCypher in denial
We're doing a thumbnails project right now, I just haven't mentioned it, but I've been talking to Robin and he's talking to Daryl and it seems we'll be hosted at SFX. Hush Hush. --Me at work 15:10, 19 Nov 2004 (PST)
It's approved, just no URL yet, but i've uploaded the thing, and showing a local preview of how it will look (omgz). --Me at work 09:35, 24 Nov 2004 (PST)

My Images

My Firefox Wallpaper My Thunderbird Wallpaper Can't Trust Internet Explorer Banner Find The Light Banner I don't know how to post them on the site, so I put them here instead.

It would be better if you post them first on your blog --LouCypher 08:22, 29 Oct 2004 (PDT)


Anti-IE Category

I saw many anti-IE articles and pics (including mine) on SFX. Should we add a new category for it? --LouCypher 14:47, 30 Oct 2004 (PDT)

Yes do it! It's a great idea. --81.66.183.96 09:20, 31 Oct 2004 (PST)
Done it! --LouCypher 04:14, 3 Nov 2004 (PST)
Shocking. You do know you're supposed to add new talking sections to the bottom? --Me at work 05:40, 3 Nov 2004 (PST)
oops --LouCypher 09:46, 4 Nov 2004 (PST)

Referring to FoxMat at SFX

After talking to (the incredible) factoryjoe, he's kindly accepted my request to host our logo for use in posts related to the project. He's also trying to find a place to link to the project.

At the top of your posts, please include either this:

<a href="http://kb-upgrade.mozillazine.org/index.php/Firefox_Materials"><img
 src="/community/themes/phptemplate/spreadfirefox/avatar_ff_materials.png"
 alt="Firefox Materials"
 style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right;"></a>

or this version, sans link:

<img src="/community/themes/phptemplate/spreadfirefox/avatar_ff_materials.png"
 alt="Firefox Materials"
 style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right;">

Thanks! --Me at work 13:19, 4 Nov 2004 (PST)

<img src="http://www.imghst.com/uploads/zoolcar9/foxmat_sm.png"
 class="avatar avatar-right" alt="Firefox Materials" title="Firefox Materials">
I've modified the logo. It's now transparent. --LouCypher 11:35, 13 Dec 2004 (PST)

Layout

I think we should change the table of contents. Here is my proposition :

1Image materials

Wallpapers
 On SpreadFirefox.com
 Elsewhere
Banner Ads
Other Web Ads/Buttons
Buddy Icons/Avatars
Anti-IE Gallery

2Text materials

Catchy Phrases
Printables
E-mail Templates

3Miscellaneous

Screensavers
Customize Firefox

What do you guys think?--MarcTheSmartass 15:02, 5 Nov 2004 (PST)

I'm liking this. The old layout was to accommodate the other materials projects, but since the page has been seperated, that's a good suggestion. --Me at work 15:10, 5 Nov 2004 (PST)

Start Pages

Should we start including them? There are at least 3 that I know of...--FlamesOP 17:00, 12 Nov 2004 (PST)

List them here in the talk page. They're just edited versions of the google start so far, and aren't really "spreading" pages. --Me at work 09:20, 15 Nov 2004 (PST)

RSS Feeds

I've added the materials to del.icio.us We can use it as RSS feeds for the materials. Those are:

  1. Images
    1. Wallpapers

What do you think? --LouCypher

WOW! Yet, why? I think it's neat, but I just don't know why, but who cares, this may prove useful. --Me at work 12:43, 13 Dec 2004 (PST)
I just don't know where to put them in the layout --LouCypher 20:53, 13 Dec 2004 (PST)
At the top, under a section titled ==Syndicate FoxMat==, i think. --Me at work 12:03, 14 Dec 2004 (PST)
or add them to each sections (sandbox/foxmat1) ? --LouCypher 14:44, 14 Dec 2004 (PST)
I don't see them there. --Me at work 15:47, 14 Dec 2004 (PST)
Nevermind. I added a new section =Syndicate FoxMat= between materials and links --LouCypher 08:08, 16 Dec 2004 (PST)
