Advantage to Using Firebug
With Firebug, you can view the HTML code of a website, study it to see what is happening and why, make changes to it, see if your changes work and when you are ready, you can copy and paste it into your WordPress site giving you the desired changes you are looking for. The advantage of utilizing this FREE add-on is that you can do trial and error without breaking your site. The last thing you want is to have users at your site while you are making continual changes to the site in an attempt to fix an issue.

Hi...I am sorry. I should have included that in the training. Go here to download Firefox

But I think you can also use Firebug in other browsers too. If you prefer Google Chrome is the download page:

And here is a download for IE:

Thank you Linda. I think it has potential to help those who do not want to take the risk of breaking their website by making a change in HTML. This way, they can create a draft form of what the changes will look like.

Will certainly look at this one. (Actually a firebug is someone who starts all these nasty bushfires in Oz!)

Do you the movie Wizard of Oz Helen? I don't remember anything called firebugs, but then again it has been a long time since I have seen the movie.
