Firefox and RSS Feeds
I'm really impressed with the latest version of Firefox.
One of the neater additions is Live Bookmarks.
Live Bookmarks let you bookmark an RSS feed, which will appear as a bookmark folder that contains all of the headlines in the feed.
On certain sites, you'll see an orange RSS icon in the bottom right corner of the Firefox browser window. If you click it, it'll give you an option to subscribe to the site's feed.
I poked around for a few minutes and found out how to make my site RSS-enabled, at least as far as Firefox was concerned:
If your site content management tool already handles RSS feed generation, you can add the following line in the < head>section of your main index:
< link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://unxmaal.com/mt/index.rdf" / >
Obviously, replace the link to my RSS feed with the link to your own.
