Welcome to Internet Explorer 8

 

 

Webslices

 

Webslices are basically a new way of presenting RSS content.

When you subscribe to a Webslice an entry appears in the RSS pane and, just like RSS, IE8 will "discover" a Webslice, a user can "subscribe" to a Webslice, after which we are "notified" when a Webslice is updated and we can "preview" the content.

 

Webslices uses the RSS button on the IE8 Command Bar, which will change appearance if a Webslice is detected:

Standard RSS button....
 

A Webslice has been discovered....

 

 

 

Webslices are displayed in the same list as discovered RSS feeds.

If you choose to subscribe to a Webslice you will see this dialogue box:

 

Webslices will appear in your Favorites Bar:

 

And in your list of RSS Feed subscriptions:

 

AND, you can drag and drop the Webslice buttons....

 

If new content is detected, the title of the Webslice appears in a bold font - in this example, Tobias of me.dium has added new content.

 

The Webslice content as it appears on a web page is highighted on mouseover... note the Webslice icon.   Clicking on the Webslice icon triggers a subscribe prompt.
