Talk:RSS basics - Thunderbird

How do i import the feeds from my current rss reader 'abilon'. it can safe OPML but thunderbird cannot read it.

How adding an OPML import/export feature along with an alterts function similar to that in sharpreader?

What version of the RSS standard are accepted?

Several, such as 0.91, 1.0, and 2.0.

What is RSS? (acronym for...?)

Originally, RDF Site Summary. Later, Really Simple Syndication, according to http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss

Can one keep the pages in a cache?

A problem - my laptap has to be connected to the net in order to read the pages. Is there a way to receive a subscription 'in the background', that is, like the IMAP... I would update the feeds, and then the subscription is loaded, along with all the links, so that I can get on the plane and then all the stories are there.

This would be very practical, as I could have the article on my computer, to search, etc.

Any suggestions? Use with a cache?
