On Tuesday I wrote, "My only complaint with the Bloglines display is that you have to page through all headlines complete with summaries." On Thursday Bloglines announced a new display feature that gives you the option to view expandable headlines for your subscriptions instead of the full entries. Yippee!! This makes reviewing items very quick and easy. Let me show you how this new option looks, and how to change it on your Bloglines account.
Here's how the new frame looks with the collapsed entries.
Click on the plus sign next to the entry you want to read, and Bob's your uncle, you can see the full entry or summary depending upon what is available for that particular feed:
To make expandable headlines the default view for your account, click on the "Edit Profile" link on the upper right corner of your MyBlogs page. Scroll down until you see the default display option, and choose "Titles." Don't forget to click "Change Profile" on the bottom of the page. Now all your subscriptions will display with expandable headings.
If you'd like to change the display option for just one or more of you subscriptions, click on the "Edit" link for that subscription, and choose your display preference.
Is that cool or what. Now I'd like a million dollars, please. [pause] Oh well, I guess I only get one wish this week.
