    1. (OFF TOPIC) Live Feeds - for Firefox users

    3. I have found a nice use for the those pages with those RSS graphics. Especially for Rootsweb lists. If you have a Firefox browser (or Opera) you can add a "Live Feed" bookmark and quickly check what is going on with your favorite Rootsweb lists. This link explains better than I can how to recognize and add a Live Bookmark. http://www.nppa.org/news_and_events/news/atom.html To add a "live feed" bookmark for a list or lists go to: http://lists.rootsweb.com/ Drill down to find the right lists. Example Ireland>IRL-Tipperary. Now click on "Browse the IRL-Tipperary Archives" (or IRL-Longford etc.) This page will have the "Live Feed" symbol in the address bar or lower right hand corner if you have an older version of Firefox. Click on the "Live Feed" symbol and you will get a message that a you are adding a Bookmark to your Bookmarks Toolbar. **Make sure that your bookmarks Toolbar is enabled. You can do this under "View" on the menu bar. You can add all your favorite Rootsweb lists to the menu. [Even those you don't subscribe to.] You can quickly click on your bookmarks to see what topics are being discussed which might be of interest. Of course, you have to be a subscriber to join in on any discussions, but you can keep track of a lot of your favorite lists this way. You can also add you favorite Yahoo lists in the same way. I hope some of you find this helpful. I know it doesn't help Explorer users. Sorry. Chris
