If you are involved in developing software for web like me you know the pain of refreshing the window every time you made a change to the source from your favorite IDE.
Isn't it great if the changes i do in the text editor can reflect in the browser window immediately when i press ctls-s. Well you can have that magic.
Simply follow below instructions.
1. Download Live Reload from this link for windows http://download.livereload.com/windows/LiveReloadSetup.exe
2. Install a browser extension to your favorite browser. (That implies its no no for IE :-)) from below link

3. Run the Live feed and select your source code folder. Note that this could be your source folder of Visual Studio or Idea for example. IDE does not matter.
4.Enable Live reload plugin once you load the web page in the browser.
5. Make a change to HTML and save. The page will reload itself.
It's that simple.
