I am going to start a series of Google Chrome tips and tricks for Wordpress and other areas. Today we’re going to focus on Wordpress. For many bloggers, Wordpress is the lifeline and naturally this blog will appeal to the millions of Wordpress bloggers. And we’ll have new tips everyday…

Google Chrome is the new browser which sports many amazing features. Today let’s go over several great features that a Wordpress user or bloggers can use to make their life so much easier when compared against Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Let’s do it.

Tip 1: Sizing the edit window

One of the most annoying thing when I edit my blog is the size of the edit window is so small. As a result I spent a ton of time scrolling or testing the blog in different browser screen and make more changes back at the edit window. Wouldn’t it be great if we can make the window as big as we wanted to?

Well you can!!!! One of the new feature on Google Chrome is the ability to resize any text boxes. And so all you need to do is to click on the bottom right hand corner of the comment box and drag it down. The result? A much much bigger edit window for you to work with. See below.

Tip 2: Managing Multiple Email Accounts

A regular blogger usually loves blogging so much that they have multiple blogs, domains and thus emails for their blog (e.g. blog@abc.com and blog@efg.com). Sometimes, you may even be using multiple yahoo email or gmail accounts. Before Google Chrome, you’d have to go and login to one account after another to check your email for blog comments or other alerts.

With Google Chrome, you can use the private browsing feature (also known as the “Incognito mode”). All the information such as cookies are reside in another state, separate from the rest of the browser windows. As a result you can login to 10 different email accounts and they’ll all be working separately for you. Image the time saving not have to logout and login every time.

To do this simply click CTRL-SHIFT-N
