			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take <a href="http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/">greasemonkey</a> to the next level with <a href="http://platypus.mozdev.org/">platypus</a>. From the site:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://platypus.mozdev.org/">Platypus</a> is a Firefox extension which lets you modify a Web page from your browser &#8212; &#8220;What You See Is What You Get&#8221; &#8212; and then save those changes as a Greasemonkey script so that they&#8217;ll be repeated the next time you visit the page. Editing pages to suit your needs is dandy &#8212; but making those changes &#8220;permanent&#8221; is the real payoff.</p>
<p>Some of the things you can do with Platypus include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove parts of the page you don&#8217;t wish to see.</li>
<li>Move a part of the page to a different location.</li>
<li>Change the style and format of page elements.</li>
<li>Modify all the links on the page using a regular expression.</li>
<li>Insert your own HTML code.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>For those of us (myself included) who have not taken the time to learn <a href="http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/">how to compose a greasemonkey script</a>, here is an easy to use took that will do it for you.
