Read Your RSS Feeds In Gmail

I love Gmail plugins! In addition to GTDGmail, I am now using this handy little Greasemonkey Script. It uses Google Reader and integrates it with your Gmail. Don’t use Google Reader? Neither did I. I was using Sage, and was able to export all of my feeds via OPML and import into Google reader. It’s now seamless. I love Gmail and Firefox!

Logging in to two gmail accounts at once

This is actually pretty easy to do with firefox. Thanks to the guys over at lifehacker for pointing this out!

All you have to do is install the IE Tab extension for Firefox. Open up one account in a firefox tab, and the other in an IE tab. That’s it! I have also found this can be helpful if, for instance, you have multiple adwords or adsense accounts. Enjoy!

In addition, there is an actual plugin that is designed to do this. I haven’t tried it yet, but you can find the information at gmail.pro. Try it out and let me know what you think!

td Border In IE

I was having a problem today in IE. I wanted to have a single table cell with a border, but no other cells with a border. You would think it would be easy by applying the following style to the cell:

border: 1px solid black;

You would be wrong. For some unknown-IE-buggy reason it doesn’t work. Here is what does work: Apply the following style to the table:

border-collapse: collapse;

You can do this either by placing

style=”border-collapse: collapse;”

in your table tag, or by placing that code in the table section of your style sheet. Or, by placing it in style tags in the document for that matter. But you get the picture.

So, if you apply that style to your table, the previously mentioned style for your table cell will work. Do you want to know why? Well, so do I. I have no idea why that works, but it works. And that’s good enough for me!

Credit for this goes to this guy.
