.NET and everything nice

FeedDemon Beta Released, and it Rocks

I pulled down a copy of the FeedDemon beta, and I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. The layout of FeedDemon is very similar to Outlook 2003 which makes it much easier to read posts. While it does not really add any revolutionary features, it adds a ton of nice features from a usability stand-point. The newsbin and the "newspaper" style are particularly nice.

Unfortunately I have not been able to import my feeds from Sharpreader, so I will probably have to do some manual tweaking to get the import working.

Nick Bradbury and another user have more or less narrowed the problem down to a problem with sharpreader.

The OPML file is missing the <head> element,
which is required according to http://www.opml.org/spec .

Add this tag manually and it should work.

Also add the closing tag, so the tags read:

<outline title="MyStuff">
FEEDS GO HERE
</outline>
