Post by: Irock on September 05, 2007, 06:07:33 PM

Vista RMRK Recent Posts Sidebar Gadget
This is how to put the most recent posts on your windows Vista sidebar using RMRK's RSS feed. :3

Spoiler for:

First, we'll need to right click our windows sidebar. Click on "Add Gadget."

Spoiler for:

We should then get this nice little window. Find the "Feed Headlines" gadget, and double click. Or, you could drag it to your sidebar or desktop.

Now, we have to subscribe to the feed. We'll have to use Internet Explorer for this. So open Internet Explorer.(eww)
In the address bar, type in, http://rmrk.net/?type=rss;action=.xml , then hit enter.
