Online feed readers compared

A very detailed comparison of nine online web-based feed readers is published by techcrunch.com. The feed readers in question are:

Among these solutions I have only tried Bloglines and Google Reader and I prefer live bookmarks of firefox and the Feedreader which are desktop-based feed readers. Though I think this article is a great source as it pictures the whole panorama of feed readers.

div,clear,blogger,template fix

I discovered a curious bug in the Blogger template machine which was adding some div’s with “clear:both;” around the main post body which was literally breaking how the posts were seen and in my case they were starting after leaving a big space in the middle and were only seen where the right and left columns are ending. It makes sense as this mysterious div tag was working as it ought to work but it was not expected to be there..

Anyways..If you have noted something strange and not so nice going on with how your blog is viewed, this might be due to this bug.

I have found a solution in bloggerforums which involves adding a small code to your template and another blogger user, ZkyWords who was suffering, received a response from Blogger team who says that they will fix this issue soon !

This is the fix of globber :

..I was able to fix the “clear:both” Blogger glitch with the following addition to my stylesheet:

div { clear: none !important; }

Adding “!important” will override the “clear:both” that Blogger is inserting in our posts.

update : This bug is fixed by blogger team, you could read the details in their blog..
