I wouldn’t be able to keep track of the 30+ websites I read regularly if not for RSS feeds and a little Firefox extension that helps me read them called Sage. Sage is a feed aggregator, quickly alerting me to new posts on my regular websites. It saves me lots of time.The only problem is that the default look of the feeds is ugly and confusing. The default theme floats all of the entries, which can create a confusing jumble if the entries are of varying sizes. My own custom theme, which you can get here, is a much simpler affair. I’ve always thought of RSS feeds as a supplement to the full website, so the theme is minimal, getting out of the way to present the content as clearly as possible.
To install, unzip the two files somewhere, and under Sage’s Options—> Settings dialogue, select “Use Custom Stylesheet”.
