[http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/index.html](http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/index.html) One really cool thing it has is a spellcheck button, that checks spelling in forms, such as the SDMB post entry form. ---

**RevTim** Thanks for the info. I got the toolbar and a newer version of Firefox. Nice to know that the page rank of my website has the same page rank as the Straight Dope (7 to be precise). ---
