06/27/2007 7 Day Software Highlights FeedForAll
In the modern world of 2007 fewer and fewer people are building the XML representation of an RSS feed  by hand as most blogging and podcasting software now handles this function. However, if you're a software developer, want full control over your feed or you are doing something somewhat out-of-the-ordinary with RSS, as we do at Project Glidepath, you need the tool we use, FeedForAll, which creates, edits, uploads, downloads, and even error checks RSS data; a tremendous time saver.

Created by the folks at NotePage, Inc., a MicroISV based in Hannover, MA, FeedForAll, which is available for both Windows and Mac, is the ultimate tool for hand-rolling RSS feeds. It gracefully handles all of the date-stamp issues (which is a *big* deal), understands all the iTunes XML idiosyncrasies as well as includes a WYSIWYG HTML editor you can use to edit the description fields and even has built-in image editing functions.
