New Favicon and RSS feed buttons
July 23, 2006 – 12:28 amWay back in October of last year I wrote about what was at the time a new service from Google: the Google home page. If you don’t have an account with Google by now, and subsequently a Google home page, then you must not be a real geek after all.
Earlier today I discovered that I could add my own RSS feed to my Google home page. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought about it until now. If you want to add an RSS feed from any given website to your Google home page, they have a place where you can manually type in the address to it. However, to make it easier on the multitude of readers that visit my website every day week few months, I’ve added a button to the site so that you can do it with just a couple of clicks. I fiddled with getting it to work with Yahoo!, and it does indeed add a new section to my Yahoo! home page, but the actual content of that section seems to be hit or miss.
I also threw together a ‘favicon’ for my website so that I don’t have to see these annoying messages repeated over and over in my error logs:
