This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />With a very little furtling this little beauty of an app has allowed me to set up my podcasts without having to move or change my blog. The included help files were very easy to understand and I (as a podcast numpty) was up and running very quickly indeed.
I'm very happy with it, I'll definitely be keeping this one.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Absolutely 5 star! Everything works great, and the developer emailed me back within 24 hours when I suggested an new feature for a future release. (He already had it on the drawing board!)

I'm strictly a civilian, but taught myself to construct a html page from scratch. I did the same with XML channel feeds and podcasts. However---this software is so good, and easy, that I use it for all XML, and now have little interest in plain old html!
Great software!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Software is excellent. Well written, great interface, verified RSS feed output, easy to use, awesome price. Now part of my daily software use! Also, support was quick and told me EXACTLY what I needed for a problem that wasn't even related to the software but a firefox issue.
The right tool to ride the RSS wave

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I downloaded the trial version of Feeder after I upgraded to Tiger. I saw (thanks to Safari 2.0) there were so many web sites out there using RSS that I wanted my own site, grubesteak.com, to have it as well.
After the trial expired, I was hooked. I had to have the product and purchased it immediately.
This thing is great for publishing your own RSS feed to your web site. Very powerful, easy to use and suprisingly stable. Well worth the money, although I would have liked to seen a slightly better price point ($15 or $20) than the $25 I paid.
