You can simply press escape (I’m running 10.5.6). Is it risky to tell people this? Are there any contexts in which you might want to activate text completion where escape has another meaning that would override text completion? (Or just activate at the same time?)

RSS leaves me shaking my head. I agree – a tutorial would be great. I have NO clue when it comes to RSS.

@Matt, yes, RSS is on my list. Safari has built in RSS support, so you need not use google or any other reader unless you want to. Look in your Safari prefs and you should see an RSS section.

So, if you want to add an RSS feed to Safari, instead of using the links the site provides, you can use the blue RSS box in the right of the url bar.

There are even great free apps just made for RSS.

Let’s see what I can do to make this the focus of a tutorial for this week, if you can hold out that long. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for reading the site.

I hope some time soon you’ll do a segment explaining RSS. I finally figured out how to sign up with a reader (I chose Google Reader) but sometimes when I click on the RSS link to add a website to my reader, I get a screen that lets me select Google Reader as my reader (after which it appears in my reader), but sometimes I get a screen that just has a lot of options down the right side (Article Length, Sort By, Recent Articles, Source, and Actions) but I can’t figure out how to get it to show up in my RSS list (in other words, I can go to the specific website and click the RSS button and all of those posts will come up, but I thought the whole point of RSS was to have all selected websites show their updates on one specific reader.
