RRS Feeds

by

By the way, I’m posting several entries that I started and never finished (for various reasons) while still in Taiwan. I’m back-dating them so that they fit chronologically a little more logically.

In which case, if you’re reading this page on the website and looking at the top posts, you’re missing them. I strongly suggest reading any blog page through a good RSS reader.

  1. I’m using Safari’s RSS. This doesn’t make it easy to find the new-old posts. Any recommendations for an RSS reader for Mac?

  3. It’s been quite some time since I used the Safari RSS reader, partially because of one very, very annoying feature: If you go into Safari’s preferences and you choose a different RSS reader, it then seems to be impossible to use Safari’s RSS reading at all. Everytime I click the RSS button, it takes me to my reader AND it tries to subscribe me to that (which, in the case of my own web pages, I’m already subscribed to.)

    Sometimes I want to use Safari’s RSS, as in this case where I wanted to see how it presented the “older” posts, but I couldn’t without changing my system-wide default RSS reader. Anyway, having done that, I see what you mean.

    After much poking around I’ve finally settled on NetNewsWire. It was acquired by NewsGator which is a service I don’t use at all, but it hasn’t impacted my use of the software.

    I monitor about 95 feeds and it maintains them more or less like mailboxes. On the left a list of subscriptions, with number of new articles (updated every 30 minutes), in the main area top and bottom there’s a list of posts, marked new or not and a preview pane below.

    I recently (like today) updated to version 3.0 and there’s some new features I haven’t checked yet.
