Feed reader

NewsRiver is the OPML Editor's built-in river of news RSS aggregator.

Distributed directory builder

Because of OPML's magical inclusion property, you can create a distributed directory, delegating sections of its creation and maintenance to editors you choose. Learn how.

Specialized text editor

Though it's made for editing OPML files, the OPML Editor useful for editing any sort of XML file.

Notetaking tool

Once you have taken notes and organized ideas with an outliner, you'll never go back to however you were doing it before. Add the notes to your blog, and the Editor becomes the very best live-blogging tool, bar none, don't even try to argue about it. ;-)
