Four Steps to feedreading happiness:
1. Use Google Reader
2. Install Google Gears so that you can use it offline (and let me pause for a second to say “How cool is that?!” – I have no doubt that it’s not a huge technical challenge, but the key thing is that somebody’s actually done it). Sadly this doesn’t (yet) work on Camino, so most of you can be cooler than me. Again.
3. Install this theme, because it’s gorgeous.
4. Add the following snippet of code to the greader.css file to get rid of a huge flaw in Google Reader, a ‘mark all as read’ button that’s way too easy to click on by mistake:
#mark-all-as-read {
display:none !important;
}
Tips for use:
1. Try it for a while.
2. Then take a look at the layouts other people do.
3. Go “Oh, right!”
4. Play some more
Oh, and don’t start this until you get home, or lunchtime at the very least.
