Individual Entry
Mimir
What ever happened to the RSS Reader that I said I'd make?
It is alive and already proving itself quite useful! The preliminary version is up at dev.the-inbetween.com/Feeds. That was the first look I was going for, but after some tweaking I'm starting to favour the alternate look. It's more compact and efficient, and with some more compacting it might make a good Firebird sidebar. The floating descriptions are powered by kryogenix's nice titles script. It's dhtmlicious!
There's still some bugs, some features still need to be added, and a lot of optimization is required, but the early results are positive and I'm hoping that will be my motivation to get it completed.
As for the name: Mimir. I like the etymology of it, but I'm undecided as to whether the actual word is good. Something about saying "mee'-mir" doesn't sit right. It's a smidge too "tinny." A "woody" word would be more apt.

I guess it depends on what the title is and what the other items are. If there's only one new item on a site for some days, then I'd check the individual entry. If there's a half-dozen new posts, I'd check the site.

I've actually gone back to *not* loading my /feeds/ display into the sidebar, after having become so used to tab-opening dozens of weblogs at once.
I wonder, do many people generally check out updated feeds by clicking each individual new item? Since I don't like viewing single entries out of their weblog context, I tend to only click the main weblog links.
