Testing Dave’s OPML Editor |

Been testing Dave Winer’s OPML Editor and making notes on my test OPML blog. It’s definitely a different way to blog than using most other blog software. Can’t say I like or dislike it, it’s just … well, different.
Of course the OPML Editor can be used to do more than blogging. I’m wondering when Dave will release the server side code so folks can set it up to run on their own server and leave the experimental server for their blog (or has this already happened and I’ve missed this?).
A newbie mailing list exists to help out new OPML users.
[…] I have checked out Dave’s OPML editor and used it for a test blog. Haven’t used it as any sort of directory tool or editor really because I haven’t completely bought into the format yet. As a developer/programmer I’m a little bit there, but not as much as a user. One of my hangups is when the OPML node is being hosted by an unreliable third party source, which leaves the directory incomplete. This situation could be dealt with programatically of course by pulling in and caching the remote OPML files, but that seems to cut down on the community sharing aspect. I’m curious about exploring this area in more depth. Works good for lists of rss feeds, though. […]
