How to Customize your Gmail Web Clips

We all use Gmail every day, but there are very less bloggers who know about Gmail Web Clips. It is very useful feature of Gmail. Many bloggers think it to be distraction but I feel that is cool way for reading RSS feed.

Gmail Web clip is a one line header which displays latest news from RSS Source. It shows random feeds but you can customize these Gmail Web clips according to your wish.

This is a default Gmail Web clip:
