Following a recent comment about RSS feeds not working, I tried to find out more about them. My laptop, with Vista & Windows Mail cannot be set up for RSS feeds, but would be if updated to Windows Live Mail, but my motto is – if it ain’t broke, leave well alone. The strange thing is, I have a Linux netbook which can accept RSS feed e-mails and they seem to come through without a problem.

The feeds seem to be updating in my Firefox bookmarks, so maybe it was one of those occasional problems of a computer system throwing a wobbly somewhere (using technical terms!)
