Hey, I saw you were making lots of edits to your global.js

I just thought I'd let you know that there's a really good way to test JavaScript so that you know if it works or not -- without having to publish an edit every time, or worry about the page not updating properly because of caching. (Maybe you already know this?)

Depending on what Internet Browser you use (I use Chrome) there should be a JavaScript console in your developer tools. To get to this JavaScript console, all you usually have to do (it varies from browser to browser) is right-click somewhere on a webpage and choose Inspect element. That will bring up your developer tools. Then, somewhere in there, you should see a tab that says Console. You can copy/paste JavaScript into that console and run it from there!

Just make sure that you re-load a webpage before putting stuff into the console. Don't copy/paste into the console twice in a row without refreshing the page, because that might have unreliable results.
