Livemarks

latest Firebird supports RSS/Atom/YourSyndication format straight from within the program. The feature is called LiveMarks and apparently it’s the abbreviation of Live Bookmarks. It works perfect: blog entries (for example) are just added as bookmarks. That’s it. After all they are just links. No need for external applications or so-called RSS news readers. I only wished that someone would come up with a better icon than that ‘flash’ thing.

For the daring, find (and install) your latest Firefox build here.

    Arthur, you might as well use the function openImagePopup() I wrote.

    See here:

    Oh… How different is this from the regular MT popup itself? Or doesn’t it popup?

    I see: space. Everytime I create a popup, MT generates a separate HTML file.
