Telling People About Your Feed...

Hello,

This Widget Engine is working allright thanks! But we're using Firefox ( The browser you can trust

) with cool rss feeds support..
* Tip: In order to make rss feeds for Mibuso work even better include the links ( see Quote ) in the <head> section of your HTML:

<link rel='alternate' title='Mibuso, Downloads' type='application/rss+xml' href='http://www.mibuso.com/rss/?feed=1'>
<link rel='alternate' title='Mibuso, Discussions' type='application/rss+xml' href='http://www.mibuso.com/rss/?feed=2'>
<link rel='alternate' title='Mibuso, Job Offerings' type='application/rss+xml' href='http://www.mibuso.com/rss/?feed=3'>

Example sites who also use <link rel='alternate' ...:
http://www.cnn.com
http://news.yahoo.com
I hope this is useful for the webmaster, keep up the good work..

it's cool

I'm new to theis widget thing. Can It Dissapear and appear when only new posts are made or set it to pop-up ever X amount of minutes?

hmm, maybe I can set my computer to Automatically "F8" every 30 mins or so?

One other thing - How is the font selected..Windows? an "Arial Narrow" would be better to fit more info into the box.

I use "Topmost" as Level of Window setting in the Preferences form (tab Window), and set Opacity to ca. 80%. This way, the window is always in front of other windows, and you can work while keeping an eye on the Widget.

The font selection can be a feature for a new version.

I'm using the "Show only in Head's Up Display"

For all The widgets I need. That way witha simple f8 - they all come up on 1 screen together.

Finding the Sirius Satalite Radio Widget is a bonus!

ps) i guess download section posts do not appear in the rss feed

Actually they do appear: but the default RSS URL only shows new topics, not replies to topics. This can be changed by the user of course.

Thanks for this tip! I addeds some feeds to the main page of mibuso.com, and will add appropriate feeds to other pages as well.

I love widgets. Adding the ability to do a topic search from the widget would make it lots better!

Howdy, Stranger!
