MacDevCenter on Safari RSS

I do use th RSS in Safari, but was wondering whether a year on I will still use it. When Safari was first introduced I used Snapback constantly, but now use snapback less then once a month, how many people can say they use snapback often.

RSS is a snap in Tiger's Safari. 1. create a folder 'News' in Bookmarks Bar 2. bookmark your chosen RSS feeds into that folder That's all there is to it - even tells you how many unread articles there are waiting to be seen. It doesn't get any easier than that. I really like Tiger in my tank.

djones - why does Safari use Aqua form controls? So that users get a consistent experience, and an experience consistently more attractive than the uninspiring creations lumped on us by the less-talented web developers out there. CSS styling of form controls has always been inconsistent and dodgy between browsers. But beyond that, the Macintosh was born of the idea that all programs use controls that look and behave the same, so that users know where they are. I'm a web developer myself, and I'd take Safari's form controls over any others I've seen.

I need someone to talk to me about my needs: what about an entry on the limitations of .Mac on Tiger? Where is the antivirus for example? And when will Apple innovate by providing .Mac subscribers with a combination of Wordpress/ Backpack/ Flickr- style features, as well as what we already have? (not to mentions more space!) How about a topic, TUAW? On message for a moment, I find the RSS function in Safari 2 perfectly adequate, but then I perhaps am not yet in the brain space where RSS seems like such a big thing...

Blair, give www.kinja.com a try. Because it's a site, you can access your feeds from any computer, it's easy to use, and gives you headline/intro text preview to click through to the site. It's how I read TUAW!

Er...I'm confused. Safari RSS annoys you, but you want a third party application that will behave the same way that Safari RSS does? I think what you need is one of these plugins for Safari: http://www.pimpmysafari.com/plugins/?c=RSS Pick which ones provides the notification that you want, and just browse like normal, or do what I do, and open the feed in RSS and click on the titles of the articles you wish to go view on the actual site.

Does anyone know a way of using the RSS notification built in, but then launching the actual webpage? I've tried NNW, but its more than I need, and SafariRSS annoys me. What I would like would be to see that there are two new posts on TUAW, and then to click on that link to go to tuaw.com. I just prefer looking at the actual webpage.

C.K., you're not alone. I'm still waiting for someone to "wise up" and give me my perfect browser. Safari's filling the the role of the browser I *use* but hardly as the browser I want to love. Why, WHY for the love of god does Safari use Aqua form widgets and overwrite any CSS styling that a developer has painstakingly created. As for RSS, I'm using Safari still simply because I'm not "using" RSS as much more than a notifier that a site has updated content. I'm still pretty much going to the actual sites. So a program like NNW not only would be an unjustifiable cost for me, I feel like *it* would try to become my primary browser. I'm not ready for to jump from a browser that I merely _tolerate_ to one that has said web browser wrapped inside Outlook Express. *ducks from all the NNW fans*
