Cool! SpaziOPML is building an OPML-based presentation tool in Frontier. If the OPML Editor did nothing more than free us from PowerPoint, it would be a major blow for freedom. The thing is, it may do a lot more. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

OPML Fan is a blog that covers the OPML Editor, a tool which allows you to make outlines (and which I use to write this weblog). In addition I cover notables and quotables from the blogs.opml.org community, which you can dip into at changes.opml.org. If you are just starting, you may want to go here and read forward. Also, be sure to check out support.opml.org.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Amyloo: "I've had this idea for a long time to write a screenplay, one of those what-if stories, about marching bands getting to be so popular they have their own cable TV channels, trading cards, consumer magazines, draft." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Dave: "Real Soon Now -- the OPML Community Server, the blogging software, membership system, file system back-end and directory displayer. " Wow. I wonder if I could make my own OPML server. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Motobill: "I started to do a blog entry on Wed., but got interrupted and never finished it. The file was created though, so I have an empty link to an empty file displaying for Wed. That's OK - Wed.was an empty day." Blogging verite.

macy's day parade logoI made a fair amount of progress on the OPML Editor Manual today. I'm almost done with completing the comprehensive list of all of the menu commands, buttons, and keyboard commands of the application. This thorough, systematic explaining of every menu command and feature, in order, is the foundation of a manual. It's not the most exciting part of the manual, but it's essential to the rest of it; and I can think of no more thorough way to learn about an application than to really take the time to understand and explain every single menu item, mouse click, and button. Once that's done I'll be in an excellent position to move on to the exciting part of the menu -- use cases and How-Tos. I'm very lucky that many people in the blogs.opml.org community have been writing excellent minitutorials on various aspects of OPML blogging, Instant Outlining, and hacking the OPML Editor. It will be fun to marshal those efforts into a nifty Parade O' Features.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

It's one of my lifetime desires to see the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade in person.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Staci Kramer: I told Kevin about the experience of listening to Elton John's Honky Chateau for the first time in the summer of 1973 -- and it just hit me, he wasn't even born yet. My son's babysitter was born during the Reagan administration. There oughta be a law! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Technology Through Different Eyes: "I like to think of my problem in the following manner - I need a good Editor. Not a text editor but a newspaper editor. In other words I need a smarter process of gathering and reading data." I agree. If FeedDemon, my RSS reader were better at helping me blog, I'd ditch Firefox altogether. And why can't I see reports of what I click on the most? Feeds that haven't been updated in 30 days, so I can weed out dead feeds? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I should say that I'm addicted to FeedDemon anyway. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Technology Through Different Eyes is also thinking about how to get categories in the the OPML Editor to automatically be linked to del.icio.us.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Tom Simpson: "Now that everybody else has comments and trackbacks on their OPML blogs, I don't want them, anymore. Maybe it because I have a need to be different. A need that I never realized I had, before." That's also called by another name: ExplorerPermanent link to this item in the archive.
