EditCSS, what a timesaver

My last entry saw about 50 revisions as I desperately figured out how to beautify my source code snippets. I enumerate the packages I used in my earlier post.

My problem was basically a malformed comment in my CSS file. Bummer. I found this out by using a great plugin for Mozilla Firebird called EditCSS.

EditCSS allowed me to override and modify the CSS for any page, in realtime. Every character I typed into the EditCSS side-bar caused the page to re-render. Once I removed the comment, the page immediately rendered properly. Wow, cool stuff.

Using EditCSS proved a more efficient edit-save-try workflow when compared with the normal way I would edit a stylesheet via Moveable Type's template editing interface.
