So, I’ve been largely ignoring the Firefox is Better folks, ’cause many of them were the same folks who were telling me to get a Mac, or that they prefer Win98 to WinXP, or to stop eating wheat and dairy in order to feel better about the world. All of that aside, I actually found something in Firefox that I will USE. RSS Feeds as bookmark groupings…<\/p>\n


\nAs many of you know, RSS feeds are these little mini versions of news or blog sites, that are designed to be pulled by viewers like Serence’s Klipfolio<\/a> (not a pioneer, just my personal fave), or one of the growing throngs of others out there. So I’m digging around in Firefox<\/a> this morning, and trying to find a theme that doesn’t make my browser’s own toolbars bigger than most of the graphics on the sites I go to. I found one, Littlefox<\/a>, which has teeny tiny buttons, and a very straight-forward front end. Some of these themes are a little outta control, they’ve got a ham sandwich as their back button, and a bunny-with-pancake-on-head for the home. I just don’t get it.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, my start page is Slashdot<\/a>, and I look down at the bottom right of my screen, and see this little pen-looking thing that wasn’t there at the previous site. I mouse over it and it’s got the option to add RSS feed. I punch it (Chewie), and am presented with a bunch of options for the RSS feed that’s been found on Slashdot. I put it in my Bookmarks, and now, when I branch through my bookmarks menu, I can see Slashdot (well, duh), but it branches to links for each of their current stories. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

Okay, so maybe nobody cares but me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
