Using the Same Name in QuickBooks
March 22, 2009
Did you know it is possible to have a vendor and a customer with the same name in QuickBooks? OK, well not quite the same name, but a wise bookkeeper colleague of mine explained how this can be done. Say for example, XYZ Company provides computer services so you setup them up as a vendor named XYZ Company. Now they also pay you rent to share your space, so they are also a customer and here is how to name them: XYZ Company {Customer}. The key is using the brackets. This naming method can also be used for corporate owner distributions who also receive employee paychecks. QuickBooks essentially sees the bracketed text as invisible and the bonus is that the text does not print out on your paychecks or forms. Try it out and be sure to stop back to let us know how it worked for you!

Mozilla Firefox MeasureIt & LinkChecker Plugins
March 10, 2009
I found some wonderful tools recently to help me with my new WordPress site design. I exclusively use Mozilla Firefox for internet browsing, and I bumped into these 2 great plugins, both written by Keith Freitas.
MeasureIt – Draws out a ruler to get the pixel width and height of any elements on a webpage. This is extremely helpful, if for example, you are customizing your Twitter background or your site’s shopping cart.
LinkChecker – Checks the validity of links on any webpage. This runs through all the outgoing links on your webpages.
Now it’s your turn! I’d love to hear about some of your favorite browser plugins.
