Here is the quiz of the day.
Which Browsers Come Preinstalled with Flash Player?
Icons for IE8, Chrome2, Firefox 3, Safari 4, Opera 9
Which Browsers come preinstalled with the Flash Player plugin pre-installed?
- Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7100.0)
- Google Chrome 2 (2.0.172.37)
- Firefox 3 (3.51)
- Opera 9.7 (9.64)
- Safari 4 (4.0.2)
Find out the answer after the break.
Break
If you guessed Internet Explorer 8 you would be right. The way I found this out is because our computer failed and I took it in to get it fixed at EBC computers who did a great job (a little pricey) and replaced the harddrive and installed Windows 7 as the OS. The first thing I did (after plugging it into our 25" monitor at home) was to download the various browsers. I then saw the page on Opera Mobile and wanted to check it out. Surprisingly none of the browsers (including Opera which was the site I was on requiring Flash Player) had the Flash Player preinstalled except for Internet Explorer 8.
And here are the screenshots to prove it.
Google Chrome Flash Plugin Screenshot
- Google Chrome isn't preinstalled with Flash Player
Safari Flash Plugin Screenshot
- Safari Browser is not presintalled with Flash Player but had a detiled pop-up
Firefox Flash Plugin Screenshot
- Firefox Browser is not presintalled with Flash Player. This was pretty lame.
Opera Flash Plugin Screenshot
Opera Browser is not presintalled with Flash Player. The lamest of all.
So what should you do if you run into this scenario? Go to Adobe of course and Get the Flash Plugin.
Thanks and as always,
Happy Flashing

So it seems that Android has jumped ahead of iPhone again and the launch of Flash Player 10 will be released in October during the Adobe Max confernce. Flash for Android is a big step for the mobile industry. Besides running the SkyFire browser on Windows Mobile and Symbian phones this is the first major release to allow Flash 10 content on mobile. Leave it to Google to be the first to run Flash Player 10 on mobile devices. Google seems to really have embraced Flash.

Sign up quickly because it is filling up fast.
Presentation:
FLOOGLYTICS = Flash + Google Analytics
Flash and Google Analytics = FLOOGLYTICS
Flash has always been considered the ugly step sister in the world of SEO and Analytics. Well now Flash takes "Center Stage". Using Google Analytics data can be extracted from Flash that could never be pulled from HTML. This session will explore the ins-and-outs of how to setup Google Analytics to work most effectively with your Flash files and how to set up Flash to work most effectively with your Google Analytics account. Go beyond just seeing what users did. See what users meant to do or even wanted to do but didn't. The most important part of the equation is how to refine this gold that Flash and Google Analytics provide. Walk away from this session armed with the tools you need to implement Flooglytics and make your site effective.
Where:
E-Learning DevCon - University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah
When:
June 17th-19th 3:30 P.M.

So I am an avid user of FireFox and rarely use IE for any of my regular browsing. Today I had IE open for testing some things and went to my site to lookup an error. When I went to the page it had no sidebar and no navigation what-so-ever. I tried many things to remedy the problem. I tried changing themes, disabling widgets, etc...
After some searching I went into the code of each of posts to see what could be causing IE to look so bad. Well it turns out that during the last Adobe Max I had copied and pasted a post from Microsoft Word into the post on Robert Burdick's presentation.
Keep reading to see how I fixed the missing WordPress sidebar for IE. Read the rest of this entry »
