KDE BlogLines Ticker version 0.2.1
Featuring bells and whistles!
This small application sits in your KDE system tray and patiently checks your BlogLines account (provided you gave it one) for updates in specified periods, half an hour being the default.
It can notify you of new updates in a variety of ways:
- play a sound
- pop up a balloon
- change the tray icon The icon will always change its color and remain this until you left-click it. Doing so will bring up a konqueror window with the updates url and drop the flag. Other notifications can be turned off.

I don't have much experience coding for KDE, so naturally I used other GPLed code for inspiration. Thanks go to
