It looks pretty good and is easily styled. One minor issue seems to be that it’s not picking up the date correctly. I’m sure that will be easily fixed.

I think I’m used to using list view because I’ve had such a variety of shitty net connections that using expanded view resulted in mongo slow load times.

Thanks for pointing out the links page you’ve got set up. Prompted me to have a look for a WordPress plugin that might do something like this, and lo and behold there is one:

I’ll get this working when I get a bit of spare time

I also use only display updated/unread items, everything else disappears, so a folder wouldn’t really work for me. If I have no unread I don’t even see any folders. I find this a lifesaver, couldn’t use reader without that setup.

While we’re at it; My favourite reader feature, is sharing out folders, and then using the bit of code it gives you to automatically create links pages / blogroll from your reader. Anything i add to a folder automatically gets added to this page: http://www.johnbraine.com/links

I always use the list view which generally makes it easier to keep stuff unread, although I guess if you refresh and go back over something it’d be marked read again.

You could set up a tag like ‘read later’ and tag stuff that you want to read properly later. Then you just need to remember to look at that tag when you have a bit of spare time.

I say this like it’s a good idea, but, well I have it set up but never remember to use it…
