412609 - KB article: Live Titles / Microsummaries

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Description

[Steve England [:stevee]]

What they are, how you know if a website offers them, how to use them.

Should I also cover that you can write or generate your own ones, and link to external articles that explain this? Or is that overkill.

Should I consistantly call these things Live Titles (as the firefox UI calls them) or Microsummaries (which the code and documentation calls them)?

Note to self: link this article from the 'firefox makes unrequested connections to the internet' article.

- Don't bother covering how to write them, although it would be great to point to a couple of sites that actually use live titles.

- Call them live titles. Mention something like "also known as Microsummaries"
or something like that in the beginning of the article.

Oh my! I had totally forgotten about this - so sorry. I'll see what I can do next week for sure.

The article needs updated to Firefox 3 (you need to double-click the star). A screenshot and some examples would be nice.

Reseting to default due to no activity.

I'm closing this bug as invalid, because we don't track article requests in
Bugzilla anymore.
