Yahoo! Toolbar Gets to Know RSS

Yahoo! Toolbar for IE (v5.6) now detects RSS/Atom feeds just like its toolbar sibling for Mozilla Firefox.

The toolbar uses RSS Autodiscovery to detect feeds. To make sure feeds on your web site are detected, just add the following to the of your web pages:

And when we say FEED TITLE we mean the name of your site PLUS the specific area of your site (e.g. Engadget: Gaming). When a user clicks the button it will say something like "Subscribe to Engadet: Gaming."

Get To Know Your Toolbar
Here are some other power user features that are useful for many folks:

  • Drag and drop any text on the page into the toolbar search box to search the web.
  • Press Alt-S to instantly put the cursor focus into the toolbar search box.
  • Right-click any toolbar button or menu item to open its destination in a new window.
  • Use Search This Site button to get results only for the current web site. See Toolbar Options

    Enjoy!
