Wizz RSS – The Easy RSS Solution
Filed Under Firefox, Productivity, add-ons, episode, feeds, google reader, guide, how-to, rss, screencast, tutorial | 3 Comments
Wizz RSS is a “feed reader” for anyone who doesn’t like RSS programs or can’t remember to check online readers (like Google Reader or Bloglines). It’s a very accessible alternative and keeps things very simple for the user.
It’s not immediately intuitive, though, for those who are still new to the use of feeds to keep track of their favorite sites. In today’s video, we’ll cover the basics to get you started with Wizz RSS.
If you aren’t using any RSS reader yet, pay attention: You are missing out. If you use your feeds right, it can be one of the greatest time savers you can take advantage of. So please give it a try, for your own sake!

Click here to watch
Today’s video is a bit of an extension of the video that released last week. Instead of continuing on the “dragging” techniques however, we are going to talk about “clicking” today. Like drag n’ drop, it is a horribly overlooked basic function that most people don’t consider. And, although I say this in the video, I’m going to post it here too:
When in doubt, right-click!
Follow that universal law, and you will never be lost

Drag n’ Drop: Be a Drag King
Filed Under Firefox, Productivity, how-to, screencast, tricks, tutorial | 1 Comment
It’s one of the most basic computer skills any user should be familiar with, but most people really don’t know how powerful it is. In today’s video, some of the ways you can use the “drag n’ drop” technique as a serious time saver.
Note to Mac users: Since I’m not on a Mac, I could not demonstrate this, but you can drag files onto your dock items to quickly launch a program and load a particular file. (ex: drop an image file onto photoshop)
Do you know of any other neat Drag n’ Drop tricks?
