RSS reader: News Crawler

Saturday, January 13 2007

So after everybody else has jump on the bandwagon like years ago, I am trying again with this RSS reader.

I’ve tried Bloglines … nope

I’ve tried Mozilla Thunderbird … NOPE

I had a quick look at Google’s reader but no I didn’t like that either.

But I have been sneaky peaky on MH laptop and he uses News Crawler and I like the lay out of it.

He downloaded the software and installed and it looked easy. I am going through my old feeds and ditching old once that I lost interest with and adding new feeds.

I have added some new blogs / feeds and that was easy too. So far so good and if I don’t like it you will be second to know.

The one thing I not yet fully convinced about is why isn’t the comments included in the feed? They are 40% of the joy of reading a post.

Update: I have not made it easy on my blog for this RSS, have I? MH reminded me that he had asked me when he set the blog up and I said I didn’t want one. He is now working on it :) thankfully. And I want to say a big thx to the clever ones that have managed to add my blog to their RSS reader. Liferea eh? Never heard of that one before … u r da best :)

Update2: Oh ok so I am now to stop colouring the links yellow … it looks bad on the readers. Someone should have told me …

    I already get ur feeds. Comment feed buttons are available add one.

    Green is not a better choice. :) tc.

    Green is slightly better than yellow. If you just want to emphasize a word, how about underlining it? :)

    Oki no yellow and no green in the feed part. Cap – are you using feeds as well? Guess I was the last one. The CSS something has been updated so that the links looks yellow on the blog but will come out normal in the feed – just need to test it with a new post. The link colour for this theme is not good enough.

    Colour is more fun :)

    Heh, Liferea is for *nix and Gnome especially. I like it, though now I use Akregator. Though I don’t comment much here, I do read the feeds :P

    Plus there are comment feeds at all blogs too I believe, they apply sitewide though and are a different feed altogether.

    For example, my comment feed is here:
