Wow! Steven Downes has made a Firefox bookmarklet to let you automatically add feeds to a del.icio.us generated OPML Reading List. Nifty! Permanent link to this item in the archive.

OxDECAFBAD comments on yesterday's post on how the OPML Editor is different from other blog editors: "I type, and save, and I’m published. I could post 60 entries in a minute, maybe more. (I type pretty fast, think faster.) When I open the day’s outline, I’m not Faced with the Task of Composing a Document, I’m faced with a structure based on luring atomic thoughts out of my head. Ready, fire, aim. That’s the blogging style here."

Greg transforms his list of Kosher Food Blogs into an OPML reading list. It was "Easy as ains, tsvai, drei.Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Reading List Video Reloaded Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A number of OPMLites reported problems viewing the screencast video I made on how to create a reading list in the OPML Editor. Well, I've been working on it, and I believe that this version will solve the problem. Sorry about the wait! Enjoy!

OPML Editor Manual Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I've been giving some thought to a manual to go along with the 1.0 release. What I'd like to do is to move the functional manual I have here -- which documents the menu items -- and combine it with HOWTOs and video tutorials on the OPML Community website.

There are two really big advantages of doing it on the OPML Community website -- one, it can use the Wordpress "pages" feature to allow collaborative editing, so that a bunch of us can work on the docs simultaneously; and two, it can provide a snapshot of docs so that when new versions come out, we have a way of putting together PDF manuals for major number releases. (This was a big problem for me when I wrote the manual for iPodder -- when the 2.0 release came out, it was really difficult to get a new release of the manual out at the same time).

I'd love to bring in the text of HOWTOs that Dave has written on the OPML Editor support page, or barring that, links to same.

But I still can't score a login to the OPML Community site -- and it's required to comment, and of course to post. Ug! What am I doing wrong? I'll have to send a message to the OPML-Newbies list.
