It’s a weekend of tech goodness & tech questions.
\nGoogle<\/strong>
\nFirst, I discovered that my favorite browser, Maxthon<\/a>, now works with the latest version of the Google toolbar<\/a>. The only thing I missed from IE and the one thing that temped me to use FF, now available in Maxthon. Sweet.
\nFor you guys, the big thing is that the Google Toolbar has a built in spell checker, so that should mean less typos. We’ll see.
\nRSS<\/strong>
\nSecond, I’ve discovered RSS. Since I began blogging 2.5 years ago, I thought that RSS was something that that I ought to figure out. I’ve tried a couple of times, but it never clicked with me. Now, I’ve got more blogs that I want to track than I can keep up with, so I’ve revisited RSS.
\nI’ve decided that I wanted to go with an online readers and I think I’ve settled on Bloglines<\/a>, but I’d love to know what others are using. I like the Google Reader<\/a> too, especially the cleaner interface. What are you using?
\nI’m still finding my way around using RSS, but I like being able to see what’s new quickly in one window. What I don’t like is seeing all the blogs in the same, simple mostly text interface. I miss seeing the layout and look of the blogs I visit. That was one of the main reasons I didn’t start using RSS earlier, I like the experience & look of each blog. The convenience of easy access to the latest posts is worth the compromise now, and the actual site is only a click away.
\nThe other question I have is about the feeds on my site. MT generates 3 feeds out of the box, Atom, RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0. Do I need to keep all 3? The RSS 1.0 feed seems the best to eliminate as it doesn’t show the entire posts. What do you think?
\nTagging<\/strong>
\nThe last thing is tagging. Huh? Can someone ‘splain this to me? I just don’t get it at all. The new version of MT I just upgraded to has tag support built in and I’m not sure what, if anything, to do with it. So what is tagging and why should I care?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
