Plat goes Splat
Trying out Aggreg8 (an RSS aggregator written in XUL, apparently as a school project), I discovered that Mark Pilgrim (or rather, his evil twin) has made his RSS feed particularly annoying for lowly aggregators that try to display HTML content in the feed’s description
element. Aggregators like Aggreg8 and, oh, I don’t know… Radio, perhaps? Making true on this threat?
Here’s what Mark stuck in all his feed’s description
elements:
<a href="http://www.ragingplatypus.com/"
style="display:block;
position:absolute;
left:0; top:0; width:100%; height:100%;
z-index:1;
background-color:black;
background-image:
url(http://www.ragingplatypus.com/i/cam-full.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat;"></a>
Edit Live CSS
Bookmarklets for CSS is a set of bookmarklets that let you manipulate a page’s style sheets. They include an amazing “edit CSS” tool that lets you change a page’s style sheets just by typing. (via divintomark)
