Spread Firefox allows you to promote Firefox and Thunderbird with the least amount of trouble. You can choose between different types of promotional methods and select the one best suited for your needs. Currently there’s support for:
- Banners – This mode displays random banner ads that you select. Design a banner campaign that gets your message across.
- Popups – Similar to the banners but now displayed in an annoying popup.
- Internet Explorer Alert bar – Similar to the one used in Firefox when a popup is blocked. Show a subtle message at the top of each page.
- Download counter – Displays a custom message with the official Firefox download counter.

Here’s part 2 of a Dissection of a WordPress Theme.
Web design is a notoriously tricky subject. Often we give up any thoughts of innovation when the process of realizing them is such hard work.
