Widget reminder – Apple added a Dashboard widget feature for you to tailor to keep track of sites in Safari. To use this on mac.nz, go to the front page in Safari, choose Open in Dashboard from the File menu, drag the marquee that appears over the top item in the news, drag the corners to customise and press your Enter key. Now at a press of F12 (or whatever you use to launch Dashboard widgets) you can asses the latest item added to the news page. (Of course, you can use this method for any sites you like to keep an eye on.)
