Somewhat to my surprise, and without any fanfare from the folks at Google have added a search feature to Google Reader. For those of us that use Google Reader for their RSS feeds, this is a wonderful addition. GTD Wannabe (See
GTD Wannabe, “Getting More out of Google Reader Search”) has a wonderful review of the new features posted. I must say that I have been hoping for search capability for a while and this is most welcome.
If you are a Google Reader user, go check out GTD Wannabe’s article, or give it a try for yourself.

If you are a Google Reader devotee, you may want to take a look at a really remarkable theme that is available. Designed by Jon Hicks of Hicks Design and available for free download, this theme gives you more reading real estate, as well as cleaning up the interface. Mac users will especially like this theme since it is modeled after Mac OS X.
It is not a plug-and-play extension for Firefox, but it is worth the trouble. You must first install the Stylish extension for Firefox and then copy the code provided in the theme download into the style window. There are easy to follow installation instruction on Hicks Design’s website.
If you use Google Reader, you should give it a look.
