OPML Generator: RSS to OPML

Filed under: rss, readers, opml

First it was OPML2RSS now hold on we are going to go in reverse with RSS to OPML via the OPML Generator.

Just whack in some feeds and it will generate an OPML file…you will have to cut ‘n paste the code and save it as a text file with the extension .opml.

Most RSS Readers have an OPML file already for the whole account, but not many have one for each folder/tag (only one I know of is Feedmarker)…so in this case the a OPML Generator is an alternative, otherwise there is always an outline tool that generates an OPML file, but if you don’t use outlines the OPML Generator is a quick and easy specifically focused tool for the job.

Just a side note if other RSS readers followed Feedmarker and enabled an OPML file for each folder/tag, this would be excellent, as long as this OPML file has it’s own unique URL so you can share it with others (in the future - dynamic reading lists), or view it in an OPML search engine.
