Firefox plugin: Bypass blogspot ban through inblogs.net

By wordofmansoorbeta

My second script for greasemonkey for firefox. This time called “Blogspot to InBlogs Link Rewriter”.

It was borne out of the need of our fellow bloggers across the border, after their govt. decided to ban blogspot as well. Its worked very well for me, and i hope it will as well for them.

You do need the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox (version 0.6.4) to run this script. (Available for download from here).

Installation Procedure:

  1. Install Greasemonkey or make sure it is installed.
  2. Open this link in firefox.
    (or copy/paste this link in your browser http://www.geocities.com/mansoor_adenwala/blogspot2inblogs.user.js)
  3. Click on Tools -> Install this Script
  4. Thats it! Now *any* page on the web, which links to a blogspot blog, will be automatically translated.

Enjoy it! Comments/Suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Update: thanks teeth maestro: updated the link

    That is so useful! Thanks a lot! It works fine for bloglines, but not failed to work for google reader. It might be caused by execution order problem. Google reader is a ajax application, we need to be notified everytime the page changed to replace all links.

    It is using setInterval to rewrite link every second.

    thanks taowen! Your update is much appreciated!

    I was wondering how to handle AJAX and other javascript scripts!

    one question though.. would’nt updating every second be a little taxing on the browser? just a thought..
