10/31/2005 Jake Ludington's
Review from MediaBlab
Jake Ludington wrote a fabulous review and tutorial for FeedForAll.
"It is possible to hand code RSS and
manually update the file each time you upload
a new audio file, but the opportunity for
error makes using software a safer bet.
The solution I prefer, FeedForAll, works
well for both IIS and Apache hosted Websites.
Below I walk through how to publish and
update a podcast RSS feed using FeedForAll."

10/26/2005 FeedForAll
Mac v1.5 Officially Launched
A new version of FeedForAll Mac has been released.
FeedForAll Mac's new version includes the
following:
* The iTunes extension to RSS 2.0 feeds
is now fully supported:
- The iTunes fields are
available as data entry fields, just like
the standard RSS 2.0 fields in your feed.
- The iTunes fields are
supported in Preferences so you don't have
to retype the same information for every
new feed or item.
- The "Feed Wizard" supports
the full set of iTunes fields.
- The new "Item Wizard"
supports the full set of iTunes fields.
* Extensions (XML Namespaces) have been
completely redone to make it easier to work
with extensions that are not yet fully supported
by FeedForAll Mac.
* The "Feed Wizard" has been enhanced to
assist the user in creating common feed
types by only providing the required fields
for the chosen feed type.
* The new "Item Wizard" is now available
for users that prefer to be guided
step by step when creating new items.
* The FTP upload has been completely redone:
- A new "Browse" feature
has been added. This allows users
to connect to their FTP server
and through an intuitive interface to select
the correct path for uploading.
- Uploading has been significantly
sped up. The addition of "Browse"
removed the need of the 3-stage upload process
that assisted in finding where files were
uploaded to.
* The WYSIWYG has new tools for text alignment,
such as -- Left, Center, Right
and Fill.
* All data entry fields have access to the
online help via the Help key on the keyboard.
* Drag-n-drop install. FeedForAll
Mac now is able to be installed anywhere
on your computer by dragging it from the
installation disk image to a location of
your choice.

09/20/2005 Security
and RSS
As RSS gains momentum security fears
loom large. As publishers are quickly finding
innovative uses for RSS feeds, hackers are
taking notice. The power and extendibility
of RSS in its simplest form is also its
achilles heel. The expansion capabilities
of the RSS specification, specifically the
"enclosure" field which has launched the
podcasting phenomenon, is where the vulnerabilities
lie.

09/07/2005 Ego Searches
and RSS
Ego searches are free and simple searches
designed to monitor blogs and news portals
for mentions of your company, product, competitors
or other specific keywords. Conducting ego
searches not only allows you to stay informed,
but also allows you to maintain a strategic
advantage over competing companies. A number
of new Internet services are freely available
that make these 'ego searches' painless
and easy.

09/06/2005 FeedForAll
v2.0 Beta Released
This beta release consists of some major
work behind the scenes, making FeedForAll
Unicode, UTF-8, and RSS Namespace compatible.
What this means in non-geek speak, is that
FeedForAll 2.0 can be used to maintain RSS
feeds in any language. It also now supports
all Rss 2.0 namesspace extensions, like
iTunes.
At least one more beta release will be made
available before the version 2.0 final release.
It will contain many of the other features
we plan to add into the 2.0 release.
As always, we greatly appreciate any and
all feedback from our beta testers, so don't
be shy.
