Do you want an easy to way to keep up with all of the new content on BlogHer.com? Do you use Firefox? If you've answered yes to both of those questions, then I've got some really great news for you. Two brand new BlogHer add-ons for Firefox have launched! We've got an awesome tool bar that let's you access your personal account, all of the most recent content and even Chatter right from your browser's toolbar. And, there's a new BlogHer search add-on that lets you search BlogHer from your browser, too. Here's how they work:

Toolbar Add-on

This is what the toolbar add-on looks like when you aren't logged in. You can click the log in button on the toolbar to log into BlogHer.com.

And then it looks like this.

You can access all of your My BlogHer features right from the toolbar, once you've logged in.

Firefox add-on

You can share any page you're surfing to BlogHer Chatter, Twitter, Facebook and email, from the toolbar.

The Settings option allows you to choose which BlogHer topics and features notify you of new content.

The Topics menu provides you with links to all of the main BlogHer topics, with a Mark All Read feature.

The Updates menu provides you with links to many of the major BlogHer features so you can keep up to date on conferences, exclusive offers, HerNetwork listings, BlogHer Voice of the Week and community posts.

You can even Chatter right from the toolbar - and if you've created a connection between BlogHer Chatter and Twitter, your Chatters will go directly to Twitter, too.

BlogHer Search Add-on

You can install a BlogHer search add-on that will allow you to search BlogHer from the search menu on your toolbar. Here's what that looks like.

For whatever the reason , I had been unable to bookmark Blogher. Now, with the add on installed, I am good to go and BlogHer is at my fingertips! HURRAY!

I kind of shirked away from installing it on the family desktop, not knowing if it would affect my older son's FireFox on his account. I could just see the very few words he knows how to spell ending up being chattered. LOL

But I did.

Results: it's not on his account. More over, even if it was, it wouldn't be signed in to my account and thus he could not chatter from the bar. (Being not signed in at all results in a complete disappearance of the chatter form.)

Kudos.

I haven't heard of anyone else reporting this but I'll check - and report.

Which version of Firefox are you using?

In Firefox on the Mac, I'm not getting the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons in the Settings menu. I can start up the PC to make my customizations, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this issue.

This will make it SO much easier for me to keep up with what's happening on BlogHer. I might even USE Chatter now! :-)

Thanks!

So glad to see this go live. Lots of great feedback so far :)

I'm so glad y'all like it. If you're at the conference, go to the Geek Lounge and look for Brian at the Firefox table... or go to the Firefox suite and look for Sarah. Thank them in person for the work they did on this.

I just discovered this in the Firefox suite at BlogHer yesterday. I immediately downloaded it and I love it! You can see all the recent BlogHer posts by topic and that's amazing.

Great idea ladies!

for a social media site! I was pretty impressed by the BlogHer iPhone app, but this really makes BlogHer a leader in social media community building. I predict a lot of imitators following in BlogHer's footsteps.
