Stumble a page without StumbleUpOn Toolbar – One click to review a page

June 21, 2007 By 15 Comments

For the past few weeks, I have received a lot of traffic from StumbleUpOn.com, You can see my profile at http://terencechang.stumbleupon.com/. I also provided a small bookmark Javascript tool for people who don’t have StumpleUpOn toolbar installed for any reasons. It’s a very small shortcut that you can drag to your FireFox browser bookmark toolbar folder or save to your IE favorite links. You can just one click on the shortcut to see if any page is stumbled. The bookmarklet can be found at How do you know if a page is stumbled? – One click to check it If you come to my site from somewhere else and have no idea what StumbleUpOn is all about. You should check it out. Add me as your friend and send me message if you have question.

Just today, I received a question from a new StumbleUpOn friend Witchywife, who happened to be a very good cooker. (please add her as your friend). You can find her delicious web site at Janet is Hungry. She asked me if there is a way to stumble a page without StumbleUpOn tool bar installed on her company computers. Absolute yes. However, it will just be not as pretty as toolbar installed. How can I do that with one click?
