			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Firefox 10 has hit the shelves, or at least the virtual shelves of the Internet and your browser. The release came out yesterday and Firefox 10 can be downloaded right from Mozilla: <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" target="_blank">Firefox 10 download</a>. Firefox continues to iterate new versions of the browser about every six weeks to stay current with the rapid releases from one of their top rising competitors, Google Chrome.</p>
<p>The latest Firefox 10 release fixed about a half dozen flaws that were critical and several that were high priority. One of the most important updates was the browser&#8217;s ability to automatically mark nearly all add-ons as <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9223860/Firefox_10_relieves_add_on_updating_pain" target="_blank">compatible with each upgrade</a>. With the rapid updates to the browser, users complained of add-ons that were incompatible with new versions. Firefox 10 now offers &#8220;Automatic add-on compatibility&#8221; for all add-ons including 3rd party developers. This includes <strong>Firefox 10 themes</strong> created by Brand Thunder. Check out some of the best Firefox 10 themes for your browser:<span id="more-3989"></span></p>
<h2>Best Firefox 10 Themes</h2>
<h3>Fish Filled Aquarium Theme</h3>

<p>One of the most beautiful underwater themes is this &#8220;Fish Filled Aquarium&#8221; theme compatible with the new Firefox 10. A stunning display of the coral reef with an assortment of brightly colored fish swimming through the depths of the aquarium. This is a dazzling theme that will spice up your Firefox browser.</p>
<h3>Abstract Art for Firefox 10</h3>
<p><a href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/abstractart"><img class="aligncenter" title="Abstract Art for Firefox" src="http://images-ds.brandthunder.com/abstractart-gallery-wide.jpg" alt="Abstract Art Firefox 10" width="373" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>Fans of Art and specifically Abstract Art will enjoy this alluring Firefox 10 theme. Pay tribute to your favorite Abstract artists with this light blue and green theme with abstract shapes and designs in the background.</p>

<p>Take your browser to fantasy realms with this fire breathing dragon theme and Interactive Persona. A dragon will light up your browser with a flame that is half the size of the top of the browser.

<p>The season was on the brink of extinction this year but alas, the NBA season is now in full swing. Can you believe the NBA playoffs are just a few months away?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://static.ibnlive.in.com/ibnlive/pix/sitepix/01_2012/wikipedia-blackout-190111.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Wikipedia Internet Blackout" src="http://static.ibnlive.in.com/ibnlive/pix/sitepix/01_2012/wikipedia-blackout-190111.jpg" alt="" width="378" height="252" /></a>If you came to Brand Thunder yesterday, or even earlier today, you probably assumed we were part of the Internet blackout effort to <a title="Stop SOPA" href="https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8173" target="_blank">stop SOPA</a>. While I might say that was fortunate timing, the real truth is that we experienced an unfortunate server meltdown. For us, there were two scary parts to the story of January 18.</p>
<p>Please read both of them. We can really use your help with the first point. The second point is a much more subjective one. I won&#8217;t say which way to throw your support, but it&#8217;s an issue worth your time to have an informed opinion. <span id="more-3916"></span></p>
<h2>Share Your Blackout Details</h2>
<p>As a small company, we test for as many scenarios as we can. There&#8217;s no way to prep for what we saw yesterday, and no way for us to understand it&#8217;s full impact. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m asking for your help. I&#8217;ll outline some of the &#8220;known&#8221; issues or expected ones from a downed server, but if you want to share your experiences &#8211; especially if they&#8217;re not listed below &#8211; please email me directly at kevin &#8211; at &#8211; brandthunder &#8211; dot &#8211; com (substitute &#8221; &#8211; at &#8211; &#8221; with @ and &#8221; &#8211; dot &#8211; &#8221; with .). You can also make a comment in the <a title="Brand Thunder Support Forum" href="http://getsatisfaction.com/brandthunder" target="_blank">Brand Thunder support forum</a>.</p>
<p>Some things we know about:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Toolbar buttons missing from themes</strong> &#8211; Many of the buttons are images that are pulled from our server. With the server down, the buttons won&#8217;t load. This is different from the theme image, which always has a locally saved version.</li>
<li><strong>Internet Explorer down in some instances</strong> &#8211; There was an early identification of a bug in an update that just released that required a server check. Oversight on our part that we quickly rolled back, but there may have been some instances where this was noticed.</li>
<li><strong>Installs not completing </strong>- Some of our themes are fully hosted on other sites. Examples include the Chrome Webstore and Addons.Mozilla.org. I know on Chrome, themes went through the install process fine, but the theme never loaded because of the blackout. If it&#8217;s not working now, I&#8217;d suggest uninstalling the first attempt then reinstalling. It should pull it up fine.</li>
<li><strong>Sidebar content missing</strong> &#8211; This may have been an artifact of the reconfiguration. I saw the outage today and is now working in some themes I&#8217;ve checked.</li>
</ul>
<p>If there are other oddities, or issues you&#8217;ve identified, please share.</p>
<h2><strong>SOPA &#8211; The Long-Term Blackout</strong></h2>
<p>Good intentions don&#8217;t always make good policy. I&#8217;ll admit I&#8217;m not versed enough to talk to all aspects of the Stop Online Piracy Act, but for a company that has created an engine allowing anyone to <a title="instantly build a Firefox and Internet Explorer browser theme" href="http://bt-engage.com" target="_blank">instantly build a Firefox and Internet Explorer browser theme</a>, and publish it to Brand Thunder&#8217;s <a title="browser theme gallery" href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com" target="_blank">browser theme gallery</a> &#8211; it scares the heck out of me.</p>
<p>Despite the legal protections we put in place, like the user agreement stating a user has ownership of all images used in their theme, I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s exposure somewhere. Just like with freedom of expression, there are those that will say things you don&#8217;t like. With a tool that allows you to express yourself via a browser theme and then share it out, expressions that approach the line of appropriate use will undoubtedly occur. Artistic license, satire or parody, we simply could not afford the legal costs of defending a series of challenges that can come our way.</p>
<p>Whether we willingly or accidentally participated in the SOPA blackout, we all got a taste of what may happen if it comes to reality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Original-wallpaper.png"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="The first desktop wallpaper, as used on the Xe..." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Original-wallpaper.png" alt="The first desktop wallpaper, as used on the Xe..." width="240" height="160" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The first desktop wallpaper, as used on the Xerox Star in 1975. -Image via Wikipedia</p></div>
<p>Community toolbars have been around for years helping online publishers build engagement with their fans and online community. The power of this tool has helped build <a title="Conduit" href="http://conduit.com" target="_blank">Conduit</a>, the leader in this space, into what some say is <a title="Conduit in Talks for a Billion-Dollar Acquisition" href="http://allthingsd.com/20110401/app-distributor-conduit-in-talks-for-a-billion-dollar-acquisition-say-reports/" target="_blank">a billion dollar company</a>. Engagement is a powerful tool.</p>
<p>For many years more, desktop wallpapers were the path to customization and personalization for the personal computer &#8211; from family photos to <a title="Waterfall wallpapers" href="http://www.desktopnexus.com/tag/waterfalls/" target="_blank">wonderful waterfalls</a> &#8211; we&#8217;ve either seen or tried them. They are easy to install and change. There is no way to interact with the wallpaper, they exist simply for the visual enhancement they offer. The only real downside? Wallpapers spend the majority of time covered by the applications running on the computer. You get to enjoy that beautiful graphic when you start up and shut down your computer &#8211; hello and goodbye.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s it like to take two great ideas and merge them into one. It&#8217;s like asking the question, can you get two great tastes to taste great together? <span id="more-3575"></span></p>
<h2>Your Web Site on a Custom Community Toolbar</h2>
<h2><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="MLB Toolbar" src="http://mlb.mlb.com/images/fan_forum/toolbar/y2010/mlb.jpg" alt="" width="389" height="336" /></h2>
<p>Conduit Platform gives all web publishers, regardless of size, the ability to create and publish a branded, customized <a title="Conduit toolbar" href="http://toolbar.conduit.com/" target="_blank">Community Toolbar</a>. Anything you can put on a website can also be deployed on a Community Toolbar including: applications, content, gadgets, feeds, social media tools, personal account data, games, services, links, and more.</p>
<p>With over 230 million publishers taking advantage of the Conduit platform, there&#8217;s no shortage of people that see the value of extending their web presence to the platform with the most Internet engagement &#8211; the Internet browser. There&#8217;s great upside to putting your content in the browser and creating a persistent presence whenever a user is online.</p>
<p>While toolbars are still core to their offering, Conduit has extended their approach of simplifying the build process of technical marketing tools and branching into the very hot category of mobile and browser apps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Your Favorite Image on Your Computer</h2>
<p>Your computer monitor is an elaborate picture frame. Picking the image is probably the hardest part of deciding how to customize your computer desktop. On my computer, I can literally right click on any image and &#8220;Set as Desktop Background.&#8221; It can be a bit overwhelming if you think about it. Every image you encounter is an option for you.<a href="http://nature.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/919189/"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="Seasons wallpaper" src="http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/919189-bigthumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s where sites like <a title="Desktop Nexus" href="http://www.desktopnexus.com/tag/waterfalls/" target="_blank">Desktop Nexus</a> come in. Between the site and their very active communities, they curate the visual selection for you. Landing on the web site gives you an immediate view into &#8220;Recently Popular Wallpapers &#8211; By Member Votes&#8221; so you can grasp what people like. They also offer Galleries, tags, sorting, creators and just about any other navigation method you may prefer. Really well done. And they&#8217;re well on their way to meeting their goal of the household brand-name to answer the endless demand for computer wallpapers.</p>
<p>Desktop Nexus provides a medium for members to share their desktop creations with the world. For designers, it&#8217;s a great showcase for their work and opportunity build their following. You&#8217;ll even find some designers using a site like this to cross-promote their work on other services. Like this <a title="Seasons wallpaper" href="http://nature.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/919189/" target="_blank">2012 Seasons wallpaper</a> with links to browser theme options.</p>
<h2>Toolbar + Wallpaper = Browser Theme</h2>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for the latest Chrome browser theme from <a title="Kelly Clarkson Chrome browser theme" href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hdbhcicdnmhomejcgcmccedcgefpchjb" target="_blank">Kelly Clarkson</a>, the Firefox theme for BCS National Champion contender <a title="Alabama Crimson Tide browser theme" href="http://www.rolltide.com/multimedia/thunder-download.html" target="_blank">Alabama Crimson Tide</a>, or an Internet Explorer theme featuring a favorite coupon and deals site like Presto Savings &#8211; Brand Thunder has been the place for online marketers to turn. What each one of these offers is a combination of community toolbar and desktop wallpaper.</p>
<p>While a browser theme can&#8217;t match the visual real estate of the desktop wallpaper, it is assured exposure whenever consumers are online &#8211; often hours a day. So no matter how many hours someone is spending on Facebook, they can be spending every minute of it in an experience you designed.</p>
<p>As for toolbars, there&#8217;s little in terms of functionality advantages that one product has over the other. Community toolbars and interactive browser themes each have the highly desired presence when someone is online, and enjoy the benefit of a persistent communication channel to the end user &#8211; and hence the ability to engage those users.</p>
<p>Following the lead Conduit established for its toolbars, Brand Thunder launched <a title="BT:Engage browser theme creator" href="http://bt-engage.com" target="_blank">BT:Engage</a> and put the power of creating interactive browser themes into the hands of any online publisher. Now any web site, online community or individual can build their own custom browser theme by simply uploading any images they want into BT:Engage and then dragging and dropping them into the theme. It&#8217;s just as simple to add buttons and content feeds.</p>
<p>When you combine the two great ideas of community toolbars and desktop wallpapers &#8211; you get interactive browser themes, the Reese&#8217;s cup of the Internet.</p>

<h2>Firefox 9.0 Upgrades</h2>
<p>Most of the important upgrades to Mozilla Firefox are under the hood and have dramatically helped improve speed and help reduce memory usage. We would imagine that subsequent releases will continue in this direction. Here are some additional upgrades to Firefox 9.0:</p>
<ul>
<li>Type Interface &#8211; This is a new feature for Firefox 9 where the &#8220;SpiderMonkey&#8221; JavaScript engine makes surfing complex JavaScript websites much easier and faster. According to Mozilla, the upgrade to their Type Interface should make browsing JavaScript websites about 20-30% faster.</li>
<li>Memory Usage &#8211; Surely seeing pressure from Chrome, Firefox 9 made improvements in reducing memory usage in the browser.</li>
<li>Full Screen Mode &#8211; Firefox 9 users can now use &#8220;Full Screen Mode&#8221; which will allow any HTML element to take over the screen.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re often asked by fans, &#8220;What are the <strong>BEST Firefox themes</strong> in your gallery&#8221; or &#8220;Do you have a list of <strong>MOST POPULAR</strong> or <strong>TOP Firefox Themes</strong>&#8221; you can point us to? We don&#8217;t really like to play favorites with our themes, but there are some Firefox themes that stand out in terms of popularity. Over the past several years, we&#8217;ve seen some themes used more often and some that regularly are Tweeted out to fans, shared on Facebook or receive Google +1&#8242;s more than others. Here are some of the Best Firefox Themes in terms of usage and sharing from our <a href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/" target="_blank">gallery</a>:<span id="more-3553"></span></p>
<h2>Best Firefox Themes</h2>
<h3>#1 Starry Night Firefox Theme</h3>
<p><a href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/starrynight"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3554" title="best-firefox-starrynight" src="http://brandthunder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/best-firefox-starrynight.jpg" alt="Starry Night Firefox" width="373" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing how many &#8220;nighttime&#8221; related themes are popular in our gallery. Fans seem to be infatuated with the night sky and our Starry Night Theme for Firefox seems to always make the top 10 list in terms of usage each month. Fans of space and the night sky will really enjoy this skin with imagery from the skies above.</p>
<h3>#2 Neon Lights Firefox Theme</h3>
<p><a href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/neonlights"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3555" title="Best-Firefox-neonlights" src="http://brandthunder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Best-Firefox-neonlights.jpg" alt="Neon Lights Firefox" width="373" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>We can&#8217;t explain why Neon Lights are consistently popular each month but we know people love this theme. Neon lights and neon signs have been lighting up our nighttime for years and now you can have it light up your Mozilla Firefox browser.</p>
<h3>#3 Bob Marley Firefox Theme</h3>
<p><a href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/bobmarley"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3556" title="bobmarley-best-firefox" src="http://brandthunder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bobmarley-best-firefox.jpg" alt="" width="373" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>Bob Marley is probably one of the world&#8217;s most recognized musicians and one of the top International music artists of all time. It&#8217;s no surprise that his Firefox theme makes our &#8220;Best&#8221; list and is continually one of the top themes downloaded in our gallery each month. The theme is not just a beautiful design but also provides quick access to the Best of BobMarley.com including music, videos, news and more. This is a must have for music and especially Reggae music fans.</p>

<p>The #6 best theme is our Weather Browser theme. This weather theme is the only browser theme out there that actually changes with your local weather forecast.

<p>Web comics are very popular right now and the Looking for Group is one of the best online comics out there. Brand Thunder worked directly with the Looking for Group to develop the official Firefox theme for the online comic and the result was an instant classic. Even non-fans of the online web comic love the imagery and background design for this skin. LFG is our choice for #7 best Firefox theme.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://brandthunder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Browser-Themes-Extensions_-Mozilla-Firefox-Internet-Explorer-Chrome-Interactive-Browser-Themes.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3534 alignright" title="Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer &amp; Chrome Browser Theme Gallery" src="http://brandthunder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Browser-Themes-Extensions_-Mozilla-Firefox-Internet-Explorer-Chrome-Interactive-Browser-Themes.jpg" alt="" width="308" height="157" /></a> Brand Thunder is giving users of its <a title="BT:Engage browser theme creator" href="http://bt-engage.com" target="_blank">BT:Engage DIY browser theme creator</a> a place to showcase the browser themes they are creating &#8211; right on the top of the new Brand Thunder Gallery.</p>
<p>This is an added bonus to the redesigned browser theme gallery for anyone seeking Chrome themes, Firefox themes and IE themes.<span id="more-3523"></span></p>
<h2>Theme Gallery</h2>
<p>Brand Thunder browser themes were usually found on the websites of their clients. With the increase in demand for browser themes driven by the customization available in Chrome and Firefox, Brand Thunder is giving users a destination site to find the best themes for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>A<a href="http:/gallery./brandthunder.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-3535 alignleft" title="Custom Branded Browser Themes and Extensions for Clients of Brand Thunder" src="http://brandthunder.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Custom-Branded-Browser-Themes-and-Extensions-%C2%BB-Clients-Brand-Thunder.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="117" /></a>nd why not? What we&#8217;ve seen over the years is users move across themes sometimes based on mood, other times by season, sometimes just for a change. Personalization is so easy with Brand Thunder. Whether you want a theme from the <a title="NFL Buffalo Bills Browser Theme" href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/nflbills" target="_blank">Buffalo Bills</a>, <a title="Greyson Chance Browser Theme" href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/greysonchance" target="_blank">Greyson Chance</a> or something for the latest <a title="Santa Browser Theme" href="http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/christmassanta" target="_blank">holiday</a>, you&#8217;ll find something to enjoy. And once you&#8217;ve installed more than one theme, you can cycle through the convenient theme selector to choose the theme you want at that precise moment.</p>
<h2>User Generated Themes</h2>
<p>When Brand Thunder released BT:Engage, we offered a Share page giving the URL and quick access to sharing across <a title="Facebook" href="http://facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a title="Twitter" href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and more. Well, we&#8217;ve finally remedied one of the omissions &#8211; BT:Engage users can now publish their themes to the Brand Thunder Gallery.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a simple as clicking the Publish to Gallery button. Once you do, it&#8217;s immediately pushed to the Gallery. Unless you publish to the gallery, the themes are kept private and only viewable by users with whom you share the URL for the download page.</p>

It&#8217;s our way of showcasing the amazing browser themes being generated from the community of Brand Thunder clients, designers and users.</p>
