A few RSS notes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Mark Pilgram also has an Amphetadesk Bookmarklet that will let you subscribe to a site’s RSS feed in one click. That is assuming that the site supports RSS Autodiscovery, which is simple to setup. You just have to add the proper line of code to point to your RSS feed in your Meta tag area. For example, the code for my feed is:

“link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Life of a One-man IT Department” href=”https://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/blogger_rss.xml” /”

So you can subscribe to the feed for this blog, or the Child Abuse blog easily now. Yeah, I setup a feed over there as well, in hopes that it starts to grow. 🙂

Aggie, by the way, supports the Auto-discovery function as well, but there’s no bookmarklet, yet. That’ll probaby change by like tomorrow at the rate things keep moving. 🙂

    OK, I’ve got the MS Office beta, OneNote beta, InfoPath beta and Publisher beta installed. It wasn’t overly difficult and ran into only one small problem. Outlook on first start needed me to reinsert the Office CD in order to create the first “welcome message”. It was ok 1 minute later. Activation took about a…

    I just finished up some tweaks to our main database and I’m happy with myself. There’s something about making DB tweaks that just makes me happy. I think it’s sort of like solving a puzzle. Someone comes to you with information they want to start tracking, you ask them what type of information and what…

    I spent almost 6 hours at work today. Ugh. I managed the get all the last Norton installs done and that’s off my plate. I managed to get all the new PC’s documented and entered into the helpdesk/specs database, and I tried a number of things to get those USB Dual PS/2 adapters but it’s…
