Local Harvest, Local Meat

The link to this site was sent along to me. It is a list of Searchlet-Bookmarklet Plugins for Firefox. My attention was directed to the CSS Documentation plugin in particular. It could be a good plugin for web designers who can’t remember all the properties of CSS elements. (Raise your hand.)
