favourite Spaces updated live in Firefox

If you've arrived at this entry via an internet search involving Spaces and Firefox you'll find a series of entries about Firefox and MSN Spaces in a list accessed from the home page of my blog.

If you use Internet Explorer or Avant Browser ( a multi-tabbed "skin" for I.E. ) the term "bookmark" will mean nothing . It's Firefox's version of a "favourite" . Except in Firefox you can do something really useful with bookmarks in MSN Spaces .

If you use Firefox ( or after you've downloaded it from here ) when you browse a Spaces page you'll notice a symbol on the right of the status bar . This is the RSS symbol . Rather than explain what RSS is just hover on the symbol and the tool tip should say " add a live bookmark " - in other words " add a continually updated favourite " in I.E. speak . Left click on this symbol and it will add the Space as a bookmark ( it will save it as a folder ) but save each blog entry , list , photo album as individual pages .

The handy part here is that you will save a whole site in one go and it will be automatically updated in real time behind the scenes so all you have to do is right click on the bookmark and you can " open in tabs " all the blog entries etc .allowing you to see every blog post and it's comments in one go in Firefox's multiple tabbed pages . If you do this for each Space you regularly read then the most up to date pages will always be instantly available through your bookmarks sidebar .

You can test it on this page so that you can refer back to the instructions if you need to .
