No More Messy Inbox?

Posted by Shane Hudson On January - 30 - 2009

I have had many people email and twitter me asking how can I subscribe to so many blogs? It is simple! Do you use Firefox 3? If not then you should. If you do, you should know of this feature already but many do not.

Live Bookmarks

It is as simple as that. Instead of bookmarking a website, you are able to bookmark a feed. This creates a menu in your bookmarks for each rss feed. I find this a massive problem, as it is no different than having loads of feeds in my email inbox! So instead, I have created a folder that lets me only view the feeds when I want to. I find this very useful, hopefully you will too once you have watched this very quick video (The video is fairly low quality as I have a very slow connection to the internet. It should however provide the information you need. I will try to update the video when I can).

  1. Choose a feed, for this video I chose CopyBlogger.com
  2. Create a folder, I called it “RSS Feeds”
  3. Click Add.

It really is a simple as that and it is so much neater than your inbox isn’t it? Have you used this method before? If not try it, I recommend it.

Thank you for reading,

    I have hundreds of spam per day! You are very lucky. Many people seem to think that they need to be careful about who they subscribe to. Why? I find that if I subscribe to all the blogs I see that I like then I will be more knowledgeable.
