A little something for the moms

13 11 2007

Ok moms (and anyone else who doesn’t know how to use “RSS” who wants to know when new things are added to this blog):

  1. Open this post using the Firefox browser (if you don’t have it yet, install it. It’s way better than Internet Explorer or AOL).
  2. Print these steps for later.
  3. On the right side of the screen, find the orange text that says “Feed it!”
  4. Click the little green square & text under it that says “All posts” (that’s an RSS icon — you can follow these instructions anywhere you see that picture, color is irrelevant).
  5. That button should open an “Add Live Bookmark” pop-up box
  6. Click on the “Create in” box and select “Bookmarks” or create a new folder for these types of pages (I have one called “news” where I put links to many pages like this one.)
  7. Pick “Ok”
  8. You’re done! What exactly is it you’ve done?
  9. From the top menu bar, select “Bookmarks” — you should see “The Reyes Report > ” .. if you bring your mouse to the arrow, you’ll see a list of the most recent posts to read! Firefox calls these “Live Bookmarks” because they change and link to different things as new information is published.

Easy breezy and well-done! Next time you’re in the browser, just mouse-over that bookmark and quickly see if there are any posts you haven’t read yet. To read them, just click like you would any normal bookmark.
