My RSS Reader Crawls!
…and it’s a good thing. New posts for sites that I want to be kept updated on ‘crawl’ across the bottom of my web browser and update automatically!
According to Wikipedia, “RSS
is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.”
infoRSS is a lightweight, non intrusive, RSS reader for Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape and thunderbird, designed by Didier Ernotte. The headlines are displayed beside this icon in the status bar or in a separate bar (top or bottom of the screen). The interface is very simple to use: drag and drop new url of feed onto the extension icon to add a new feed or click on the extension icon to select a specific feed to read. Download infoRSS and FireFox.

What browser are you using?
internet explorer 7
I use FireFox and Internet Explorer 7.0 and highly recommend downloading the latest version of Firefox. It is a free non-commercial browser that has so many options to streamline your browsing to just what you want. Click on the link on the left bar. RSS Feeds are of little use to me unless I can see new entries to my ‘subscriptions’ scroll across the bottom of my Browser and this extention is not available on IE yet.
oh, i get it….i need to actually use firefox as my browser????? so let me ponder this…
OK, SO NOW i have firefox…woohoo. so now i go play, huh? then how do i access that streaming rss across the bottom of my home page which is, at the moment, cnn????
OK, so you have installed FireFox. Now, on the FireFox top menu go to ‘Tools’ then click on ‘Extensions’ then on the bottom right of that pop-up windown click “get more extensions. In the search box (top right) search for “infoRSS”. Install that extension and restart your browser. Let me know when you’ve got that done.
so i only get “add-ons” when I go to tools, I don’t get “extensions”. now what?
i got it i got it i got it…..now what?
