The erindale/cseligman toolbar (shown above) was created by Courtney Seligman as a navigation aid for his website. However, it also includes hundreds of links to external sites, including every page on our site, so we offer it to our visitors in the hope that they will use it visit our site on a more regular basis.

Downloading and Installing the Toolbar on Various Platforms
    To download and install the Toolbar for Internet Explorer, click on the image above, then click Run when prompted by the File Download Security Warning. The file will self-install, and the Toolbar will appear, more or less as shown. The Internet Explorer version of the Toolbar only runs on Windows platforms, but the Firefox version runs on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, and the Safari version runs on Macs. Google Chrome is not currently supported.
    There appear to be some Internet Explorer/Windows browser/operating system issues. In particular, when running IE8 with pre-Vista operating systems (e.g., Windows XP), clicking a toolbar item to open a web page may result in an Internet Explorer error message, or an incomplete page load. Using the browser refresh button should take care of this problem.

Fixed Toolbar Items
     Running from left to right, a newly installed Toolbar has the following items/buttons:
     An image of the Erindale Liger, Kat's Bane, the Erindale Publishing "mascot". Holding the cursor over the image shows that the toolbar is sponsored by Erindale Publishing. Clicking on the image takes you to our site.
     A drop-down Toolbar menu can be used to customize the Toolbar. Most of the items on the drop-down menu are self-explanatory, and can be learned by playing with it. For instance, Shrink Toolbar removes the text labels on Toolbar items, and if that has been done, Unshrink Toolbar restores the labels. Toolbar Options allows you to delete or add items to the Toolbar, and in some cases, modify the behavior or display of the items.
     The Google Search Box is similar to any other search box -- but check out the drop-down menu next to the box for more than a dozen different ways to search, including a Toolbar Component Search which allows the user to choose from thousands of toolbar add-ons.

'Customizable' Toolbar Items (shown above, but can be turned off):
     A cseligman.com Menu includes links to every page on that website, and to a web-page version of the site's RSS Feed.
     A cseligman RSS Reader provides RSS feeds for cseligman.com and various science-related news feeds.
     An Erindale Publishing Menu includes links to every page on our website.
     A Links Menu includes hundreds of hand-selected external links.
     A Gadgets Menu (indicated by a calendar) links to various LabPixies gadgets, each of which opens in a small, separate window. Calendar, clock, mapping, music, news and other gadgets are currently installed, and additional gadgets can be user-installed.
     An Online Radio Player is a fully customizable streaming radio player, preloaded with dozens of stations.
     A Pop-Up Blocker and Privacy Button, which includes history, cookie and cache cleaners.

Additional Customizable Items (not shown above):
     A Weather Button shows the current weather in some random city, when first installed. If you click the button, it shows the weather for the next three days, and allows you to customize the button (e.g., by choosing a different city).
     An E-Mail Notifier alerts you to any new email (once properly set up for your accounts).
