Need to open multiple sites in one go for testing or something?

I migrated ~20 blogs tonight and needed to test them all before and after the migration. Clicking around, typing crap into the address bar for 5 minutes didn't sound too terribly fun to me so I did this:

Put "site1.url | site2.url | site3.url | site4…" in your "Home Page" option. Close options. Open a new window. Bam!

Revert when finished.

Kind of a no-brainer, but hey.

If you have all the sites already open in tabs, you can just "Bookmark all tabs" (bookmarks menu, or right click on any tab), give it a folder name in your bookmark toolbar, then you can just middle-click the folder on your toolbar to open them all up again in new tabs regardless of what window you are in without needing to override your homepage.

Kind of the same effect I guess though, just a different way of doing it. I use my approach for a number of things, but usually it's for opening up a ton of sites specific to any certain common job. For example, if I jump back into web stuff, I keep a folder with MySQL reference, PHP reference, jQuery reference, and usually a couple others specific to my staging and live sites.

Yep. I do that for our ODAT sites (steepandcheap, whiskeymilitia, et. all).
