CNET Editors' review
It may be the scaled-down version, but Feed Editor Lite's straightforward interface offers just the right amount of options for creating and managing RSS feeds and podcasts.
The program's wizard to create a new RSS feed gets you off to the right start. The wizard was easy to understand, but also included a help feature to keep you covered. The wizard gives you two options for creating feeds--standard RSS or standard podcast. After that, simply enter a name, brief description, and the source URL in the appropriate field. Once we got all of that information into place, we were taken to the main user interface, which we found to be very intuitive. Command buttons and menu options for creating, saving, and uploading new feeds reside at the top of the window. Below that are tabs for displaying feeds, feed items, and feed images. The feed that we had created using the wizard appeared under the Feeds tab, and we were able to add more detailed information, such as Webmaster, editor, and copyright. Once we were ready to upload our feed, the built-in FTP made it a cinch to upload the feed and its corresponding information.
Feed Editor Lite made what seemed like a daunting task incredibly easy. The 30-day trial is plenty of time to get acquainted with the program, making it perfect for users new to RSS feed creation.

"great program, shameful, nonexistent customer support"
Version: Feed Editor Lite 2.8
Pros
FEL 2.8 is fast, light and easy to learn, It's made keeping up with my feeds a dream.
Cons
The only thing that is a terrible problem is the utter lack of any kind of customer support.
Summary
The bottom line for me is that I love this product but in two weeks when my trial period - for a product I've already purchased - runs out, I will have to find another to replace it with. This really is a shame as, from so many of the comments I've read about this product and from what I've seen in the two weeks I've been using it, it's great. However, a product that you can't use because you've been sent a seemingly invalid license key, followed up with completely non-existent customer support, isn't so great a product after all. I hope that I have better luck with the next product that I use and hope that this tip keeps someone else from wasting their money.

"No support do not buy"
Version: Feed Editor Lite 2.73
Pros
Nice easy to use program.
Cons
No support for this product. I bought the product and got my key to unlock right away. Problem is the key does not work. Have tried to contact them and no answer after seven days. There forum has many similar complaints, all un answered.
Summary
Good product but you would be better off getting a program that is backed up with support. Looks like I wasted 30 bucks on Feed Editor.
