Jeff Bounds' Weblog The Grove

Tuesday Jun 29, 2004

Now for some real content. How to use Evolution as a RSS Reader. If you are familiar with the Summary page in Evolution then you are looking at a RSS Reader! To add an existing feed that Evolution knows about go to Tools -> Settings -> Summary Preferences -> News Feeds. There evolution will have a list of feeds. Select a feed then ADD it. To add a new feed go to Tools -> Settings -> Summary Preferences -> News Feeds -> New Feed. It will ask for a Name and a URL for the feed. I'm sure Evolution stores this list somewhere, but for the life of me I have NO clue where! So for the time being you Vi experts will just have to suffer using the gui.
In keeping with the tradition of most other bloggers first post, I will make this one about myself. My name is Jeff Bounds and I am a Systems Engineer based in Atlanta, GA. I came to Sun about 5 years ago through the Forte acquisition. I guess you can say my area of specialty includes Application Server, Web Server, SJ Studio, and SJ Creator. I am also the author of the Onestop RSS page. I graduated from the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). The reason I mention this is, it will probably be the subject of future posts. Especially when Football season starts!
