In working with DiskShop I found that it made it quick and easy to do things with file whether they were on my machine or on a network drive. The program has a slick search function that helps you to findwhat you're looking for. This program is just loaded with features likea "tree view", keyboard shortcuts, favorites, and much more. Over theyears I've looked at a lot of "file management" programs and thisis one of the nicer ones I've seen. Take a look for yourself and seewhat I mean. I recommend it.

Feed Editor, by ExtraLabs Softwareis a nice product for doing your own RSS feeds. I reviewed it oncebefore, but I wanted to come back to it. It makes it easy to create andpublish "news feeds" on the Internet. I like the fact that ituses wizards to help you create an RSS feed that you createand publish in just minutes. This is really the complete packagebecause it also includes an FTP interface so you can easily upload yourfinished news feeds. Slick.

I really like the fact that Feed Editor is easy-to-use, becauseit makes it easy for anyone to have a blog. The program is reallyperfect for users with all levels of experience, but newer user will find it very friendly. You can import text from files, include photos or pictures, and there's also support for JavaScript. The program also has a nice WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor so you'll know exactly what your feed will look like. I like Feed Editor so much that it's not only one of my Picks, but I'm also making it one of myDr. File Finder Favorites. So, if you want to try your hand at doing an RSS feed, try Feed Editor. I recommend it.
Feed Editor is the 235,000th program I've evaluated since 1982.
