All your RSS Feeds on One Safari Tab
Are there a bunch of sites you go to every morning? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have Safari load them all up instead of you clicking each address?
Sure, you already know you can click Open in Tabs from a bookmark folder, but did you know you can eliminate a click in the process? Murphy can show you in this screencast.
The screencast also covers how to add multiple RSS feeds into one tab, combining them into one big reading list.
We’re going to be looking at RSS all week, starting with a hint from macosxhints.com. This snippet will focus on Safari, but we’ll be looking at other tools to exploit the power of RSS as the week goes on.
RSS stands for Really Simple Sydication. Sites that update their content frequently provide RSS feeds so their visitors can find fresh content easily.
You’ve probably seen orange buttons like the one above or others that say RSS or XML. Those buttons indicate there’s a feed for the site you’re viewing. Trying to read feeds with Internet Explorer 6 probably didn’t get you very far. Microsoft was a late-comer to the party, and looks to be aggressively trying to catch up. Sound familiar?
Watch the screencast if you’ve never subscribed to a feed. Or even if you have. And check back all week - Murphy will have more information on RSS for you.
