The last entry about the RSS Reader Panel extension was rather long so I decided to cut it in 2 parts and give some small tips for this extension.

You can add an icon to the RSS Panel in the toolbar. Go to View -> Toolbars -> Customize to do this. It makes life a little simpler because you then quickly can turn the RSS Reader Panel on and off.

Use Tools -> Check Update to check if there is some new content in your feeds. A red splash means there is something new, a blank page means that there is no news, a question mark means that the site does not support the feature. ( I must notice that some sites report it wrong, so you can't be sure a red splash means there is something new... )

You can middle click the headlines like any other link and open them in a new tab.

Some people (not me) prefer to open up the feeds in a browser window to see the headlines . You can go to View -> Open In Contents Area to set it up this way.
You can also change the look of the contents area with a css file. Check http://fls.moo.jp/fswiki/?p=RRP+Contents+Area and look at the various samples. You need to download the css you are interested in. If you then in the RSS Reader go to to Tools -> Setting... you can point to the css file you want to use.
