Simple pleasures: Favicons

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

I just noticed that /favicon.ico on the Weblogs, Inc. blogs finally redirects to /media/favicon.ico instead of 404'ing. This is something I requested a long time ago, and now my feed sidebar is looking a lot more colorful.

Thanks Blogsmith developers!

New Feed Sidebar feature: Age Limit

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

What is the Feed Sidebar? It is an extension for the Firefox Web browser that displays all of the unread items from your news feeds (also known as Live Bookmarks) in the sidebar for easy management.

One of the most frequent feature requests I get for the Feed Sidebar Firefox extension is the ability to set a maximum age on the items that appear in it. (e.g., "I don't want to see any articles that are older than 3 days.")

I've added this functionality in the form of an age-limit button; click on the button and select one of the options to change the allowable time period for feed items.

The latest version of the Feed Sidebar can be installed from the Feed Sidebar homepage.
