Hi Alexander, hello everyone !
As many of you, the RSS thing has somehow been a complete stranger to me.
(Maybe because Safari doesn't support them, and the idea to switch from one software - the RSS aggregator, like NetNewsWire- to the browser, is something I don't wanna do.
But as I'm slowly switching from Safari to Firefox - before the version of SafariRSS that will come with Tiger- I'm getting interested in the RSS thing ... without completely understanding it.)
I mean, I understand the use in Firefox : I've just discovered the "Sage" extension, and indeed it's useful.
But
THE thing I don't understand - and I've made a
blog entry out of it is the use of RSS on a Palm.
I've tried two solutions (HandRSS, Newsmac coupled with iSiloXC) and I still don't get it.
I mean, are we supposed to read/get only the excerpts ?
Or the RSS+iSilo thing means we can get the full articles from the xml or rss pages ?
To put it another way : are we supposed to put 0 or 1 link depth ?
(That's a clear and good question
)
Because as I understand it, the RSS page now is "iSilo formatted" with this 4.2 version, but the article linked itself won't be (why should it, since it's the normal web page).
Am i clear on this ?
(I'm confused already, I'm having trouble explaining it in french, so imagine in english !
