You can import text from files, include photos orpictures, and there's also support for JavaScript. The program also hasa nice WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor so you'll knowexactly what your feed will look like. I like Feed Editor so muchthat it's not only one of my Picks, but I'm also making it one of myDr. File Finder Favorites. So, if youwant to try your hand at doing an RSS feed, try Feed Editor. I recommendit.

Feed Editor is the 235,000th program I've evaluated since 1982.
