This is a really nice weblog template
All the other Blogspot templates I have used have a fixed width body - and it is narrow. This one has a smarter layout and it will expand the body as needed.

A couple interesting spin-offs from Firefox are:

- Netscape created by some members of the original Mosaic team
- Mozilla created by Netscape
- Firefox (Mozilla but with platform-native UI components
