Mozilla Thunderbird for RSS
December 7, 2006 at 1:46 pm | In Uncategorized | 5 CommentsTags: RSS
I’ve just installed Mozilla Thunderbird, and I think that I am now slowly beginning to get the point of RSS feeds. Looks neatly like an email inbox – I wish iMail had a similar feature. But I’ll never transfer from iMail to Thunderbird – I just love the sound of an email leaving the iMail outbox too much.
In any case, seems to me as if RSS is something that I’d rather want in my email client, not in my web client.
A note to Lenina: My OS is just a tad too old (10.3.9. not 10.4, hence the Safari with built-in RSS reader won’t work in my comp. But the powerbook is provided by my employer, which is why I cannot simply upgrade to a newer OS (which would most likely be illegal if I organized it myself). Or so I think.
I’ll just make this post to see how Thunderbird will digest it.
EDIT: So Thunderbird was able to tell the new post from the older posts. Regrettably, I did not get a notification of some sort (e.g. a little bling (sound), are a little icon indicating that there’s a new message on the OS dashboard).
Next thing to figure out is why Lenina’s blog is displayed with the full page chrome (header image, etc.), while my blog displays as a text only file). Any ideas, anyone?
EDIT: EDIT: Ok, time for some Firefox dissing: In Safari, you don’t get a WYSIWYG interface, copy pasting URLs from flickr is easy (I don’t like using Flickr’s “blog this picture” function, as it only comes complete with flickr’s branding). Today I switched to Firefox, unknowingly using the WYSIWYG surface – which put the Code live as text…. I’ve switched to the ‘code’ tab now and published again, yet without any success. *schnurch*
EDIT: EDIT: EDIT: Fixed with Safari
