    Hadn't heard of OPML until I just looked it up on Wikipedia. Very nice. I think this would be a great addition. It's now on the todo list.

    One thing would make this better...OPML import.

    Accented characters for foreign languages is at the top of my list for the next version. I'll look at some of the other widgets to see how this can be added. As for reordering feeds, I'll add that to my list of possible enhancements.

    Thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated!

    Very nice widget! Unfortunately unusable for foreign language feeds (accented characters). This should, however, not be so difficult to fix as virtually all the other more recent RSS widgets here do display these correctly. Maybe you should have a look at their code... Also, it would be helpful, if the drop-down menu would not just display the feeds in the order they have been added, but if one could either reorder them or have them automatically display in alphabetical order.

    This is darn good. There's a minor cosmetic glitch with the ClClose (sic) legend. I really like the toggle from headline to description. I would prefer if the items scroll by 1 rather than scroll by window height. It should support external links in the descriptions (such as photos). It would be nice if other RSS 2.0 elements such as subject and author could also be supported. I realize this is pushing the concept of a "widget", but ding it anyway, once you've opened that More
