How to Change Default RSS Reader in Firefox 2
How do I change the default RSS reader in Firefox 2.0 you may ask. Sometimes it defaults to Firefox’s own reader but you may want to use Bloglines or another reader.
To select the RSS reader of your choice in Firefox.
Go to Tools->Options and select Feeds icon. You’ll see a selection like the one above. Just select the new RSS reader from the list and click OK. You may also choose to preview the feed and let Firefox ask you which reader you want to use. I use this option whenever I create a new blog for testing to see what the RSS data looks like.

Tile Browser Windows on Your Windows Desktop
You can display any two windows side by side on the desktop by first clicking a window’s button on the Taskbar. Next, press and hold the Ctrl key and right-click the second window that you want to open, then click Tile Vertically. This works great when you want to view two Word or Internet Explorer windows at the same time.
Here’s a quick Windows tip for bloggers who want to blog while doing other work. Display two windows side by side on the desktop by left clicking the first application on the taskbar, then press and hold the Control key and right click the second application on the taskbar, then click Tile Vertically.
Alternatively, if you want to have two equal sized browser windows open side by side for blogging while visiting your favorite sites, close all browser windows except two, then right click the browser in the taskbar then click Tile Vertically.
