OK so I was playing around with Google toolbar preferences and realized that there is a much easier way to access lot of Google functionality that I use very regularly, without necessarily having to have Gmail open all the time so that I could hit the links in the upper left corner, or much worse, the ‘more’ pulldown. (Hey, I knew it was possible, I was just busy earning a living and stuff like that.)
Anyway, just in case I’m not the last person in the universe to have done this already:
Assuming you have the Google toolbar already installed, (remember the days before you could put Google toolbar on Firefox?) just go to ‘options’ under the little blue wrench icon, then hit the button tab, then add whatever you need. Google Documents, Maps, Picassa Web Album, Groups and Calendar were inexplicably not on for me by default.
This won’t change the catbox for me or anything, but make enough of these positive incremental changes and I should find myself saving some time, right? Especially as this is a great way to save some of my Google preferences across multiple computers, when I use other machines. (Assuming the toolbar is installed, and that the ‘Access your Google Toolbar Settings everywhere ‘ option is turned on.)
