I didn't say you can't. I said the fastest way (to get notification) was to use the news extension since it blinks whenever Macromedia issues a new tech note or blog post. You don't have to keep going to check something - instead you have a visual indicator right there in your browser, regardless of which page you are on. You can use live bookmarks to subscribe to any RSS feed but you have to go look at the bookmark - you don't get the automatic visual indication of new content. > I did notice the Macromedia site doesn't have the > standards based tags in their metas so you can't just add it from the status > bar, unlike sites like yours sean where you can do this quickly and > easily... Hardly "standards based tags" since this is a brand new feature in Firefox (and Firefox is the only browser that supports this at the moment?) which is why it's taking a while for people to get around to adding these Firefox-friendly tags. I only added the tags to my site after a couple of other people told me about the trick. The various markme blogs all have the tags. I'll mention it to the Web Team.
