New HowTos
Sunday, August 10, 2008 by Dave Winer.
I've spent the last month working on a new release of the OPML Editor for Mac and Windows. The goal is to ship with an empty Tools folder, and make installing tools a point-click operation, as it always should have been. So far it's going really well. 
As part of the process I'm rewriting the HowTos for the OPML Editor. They're starting to show up in Google, which is good. I'm going to point to them here as they are ready for review. There's a place to leave comments at the bottom of each of the documents.
Here's the first new howto, it explains how to edit subscription lists with the OPML Editor.
