Can your Craigslist do this?

Browsing Craigslist is hard work. All that clicking and back and clicking and back... And reading all those lines and lines of listings can be real tiring on the eyes. But hang on, I'm going to show you how to improve your Craigslist experience 100-fold by using a frames template!

Yes, I know frames is sooo 90's. But frames is the perfect way to navigate through CL. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Dump Internet Explorer. This only works on Firefox. LINK

Step 2: Install Greasemonkey script (while using Firefox). LINK
On the right, select "Download Greasemonkey"
A new page will load and you will click on green button "Add to Firefox"

Step 3: Quit and restart Firefox
A little monkey face will show up on the bottom to show that it is active

Step 4: Install Craigslist Greasemonkey Script. LINK
Select "upgraded script locally" A pop-out window will appear and you select "Install" button. Note: This is an updated script whereas I have an older script, so yours may not look exactly like mine. But very similar.

Step 5: Quit and restart Firefox
Go to Craigslist.org and see the difference

Step 6: Install Craigslist Image Preview. LINK
Select "Install this script" A pop-out window will appear and you select "Install" button.

Step 7: Quit and restart Firefox
Go to Craigslist.org and see the difference

To manage your scripts, in Firefox under the Tools menu, there will be a Greasemonkey menu item for you to enable or disable the script. Hopefully these instructions will work for you. If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

As shown above, this script is invaluable for apartment hunting. It's also great for those ads that you MUST see a photo, such as furniture, rugs, or clothing. I've been using this script for years now and I can't tell you how much time it's saved me – but don't hate me for waiting this long to share with you all :)

Now you too, are equipped to become a professional Craigslist stalker (like myself). Happy shopping!
