No more Snap.com previews in Firefox

6 Comments

Do you use Snap previews on your website? I hope you remove it because it is irritating me and maybe for some other peoples too. Lol…

But thanks to AdBlock Plus because of it, you no need to remove your Snap from your website just because I ask you to do so (Eh?). This Firefox extension will blocks all Snap previews from being pop up when visitors mouse over on the links.

  1. Download AdBlock Plus and install it.
  2. Next, restart your Firefox and then click Tools > AdBlock Plus.
  3. Add spa.snap.com/* to set new rule in AdBlock Plus.
  4. Restart Firefox and no more Snap.com previews when you browsing websites.

Tidy-up your CSS file with Clean CSS

10 Comments

I coded all my themes and CSS manually by using EditPlus 2, by hand. But when coded in text editor, your code might unstructureable and will slow down your site. That is why you need something that can optimize and tidy up your files.

Here has come a website called Clean CSS. Clean CSS is a nice utility that will tidy up your CSS file and will optimize it to make your site load faster. For an example, instead of

padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 5px;

Clean CSS will tidy it into like this

padding: 10px 5px 10px 5px;

Beside that, Clean CSS will remove all unnecessary things and will pack your CSS file into smaller package.
