Mousetool
Mousetool is a total lifesaver. If you use a regular mouse and clicking hurts you, you need Mousetool. It takes a little bit of getting used to but it’s well worth persevering. It’s a small utility that clicks for you when you stop moving the mouse. For example, if you move the cursor to the back button in your browser, then mouse tool will click the button for you.
It’s well worth investigating the different setup options specially the Context Options, which instruct Mousetool to act differently in different programs. For example I have it set to disable when I’m using Word or Photoshop. It can get a bit messy when you’re trying to type.
I tend not to use Mousetool when I’m using a graphics tablet. I switch quite regularly between my graphics tablet and mouse. Regularly changing aspects of your setup and work practice can be another key to not overusing the same muscles and is another good way of beating RSI.

Cheers Roy. Yeah Wordpress is in a different league to blogger. I guess it’s fine at mysite.blogger.com but for anything more dedicated you really need a more pro engine. Have been meaning to move the other site for ages but would have to reimplement the design so think I’ll wait until I redesign it.

The site looks great John! I keep putting off moving my site to Wordpress, but good-looking, user-friendly sites like this remind me why I need to ditch blogger!

Thanks Zee! Had a bit of fun with the design. It’s great designing a site when you only have to please yourself.
Yeah Wordpress is much better but probably more so for yourself than your viewers. In theory this could be a blogger site but its that bit harder to reskin and manage on blogger.
Cheers!
