Faith, have you found a way to read RSS offline? Please, do illuminate me. I’ve been searching for it for so long. Please email me at caliche@mail.com.

Alternatively, you might like PulpFiction. ( http://www.freshlysqueezedsoftware.com/products/pulpfiction/ )

It’s pretty fantastic–one of my favorite features is the ability to set an option on each to show the RSS content (with a self-definable stylesheet) *or* to display the content as the creator intended. I set blogs that I know are high-design to the latter, and ones using standard templates or that generally don’t care about design to the former.

Sage is what you want (if you use Firefox). With the latest version you can even schedule when it has to check for new entries.

I just use the Forumzilla extension for Thunderbird. When I check my email, I also check for new blog entries. It makes it very simple and time effective to do so. The posts show up in their full CSS wonder due to the application’s preview panel.

I hate to go against the crowd here, but I prefer the full post in my RSS feed. I spend a great deal of time on the road, and I use RSS in much the same way I use offline email. If I couldn’t read the posts offline, I often wouldn’t have time to read them at all.

Opera users have RSS feeds and email integrated in the same “panel”. That way, RSS feeds get a kind of “notification” feeling to it. When I check email, I check RSS too. See http://www.opera.com.

Then use the Sage extension (if you’re using Firefox).

I couldn’t agree more. I don’t like when I subscribe to a feed and get the entire content of the post in my newsreader. I simply want to get notified so that I can read the page in the browser.

I thought about that as well before and tried building a notifier based on weblogs.com-data. Problem is, that it would need to monitor that page constantly, plus many pages don’t ping weblogs.com.
