How does one add an RSS feed to Sage. I have found these instructions but they don't work with FF.
                          Thanks, CMA


    * Put your RSS, ATOM or XML feeds into your Sage: 

1. Do it yourself: If you have found RSS or XML icons on the webpage itself, right-click on the icon on the page, and select 'bookmark this link'. This will open your Firefox Bookmark folder. Save the bookmark in the 'Sage Feeds' subfolder. Or just drag and drop the feed icon directly onto the Sage sidebar. However, keep in mind that if you do drag an RSS icon to your sage sidebar, it will only stay there while the sidebar is open. When you open it again all that is there are the default Sage feeds. Now, suppose that you not particularly interested in the default Yahoo sports news feed. You can right-click it and delete it. However, the next time you open Sage (Alt+S) it will come back, so don't bother. Similarly, if you follow the directions exactly and add a custom style sheet, it too will be gone the next time you return to Sage -- so again, follow my advice and don't bother with this either. Now if you find all of this puzzling just examine your Firefox bookmarks and you will see
 that you now have a number of new folders each and every one helpfully named "Sage Feeds." Exactly how the knowledge of the location of these identically named folders helps you, I certainly don't know. However, if you e-mail me at gpgmail-signupatyahoo.com I will send you the link that takes you to a random page in the Sage Wiki. I don't know how this will help you either, but there does seem to be a pattern here.

2. Let Sage do it: Left-click the magnifying glass "search" icon on the Sage sidebar, and let Sage look for feeds on the page. Click the feeds Sage lists in the search results box to select and add the feed(s) you want.

3. Let Firefox do it: Alternatively, left-click on the orange "live book mark" icon in the lower right hand corner of the Firefox browser window. This opens an "Add Bookmark" window. File the "live bookmark" (-the rss feed that Firefox found) in the Sage Feed subfolder. In Firefox 1.5, the "live book mark" icon appears in the Address Bar.
