NEW! Feed Creation and Maintenance Software: Feed For All: Officially Released November 2.

We have extensively tested this software - and highly recommend it.

This intuitive software will allow you to create, spell check, update (add new items) and ftp your feed to the server without mucking in one bit of xml code. Best of all, there's no need to validate your feed anymore because the software won't let you mess up!

Feed For All will take your existing feed and convert it from rss version .91* to rss version 2.0. There will be no ill effects of switching to 2.0 but there are benefits!

a) you can include your logo in rss version 2.0
b) spelling errors are diminished
c) manage any number of feeds in one program
d) easily add new items (this has been a pain for most RSS publishers in the past)
e) and more...

Download it. Try it. Buy it when it is released...Use coupon code 'stamped' to get $5 off.

a) We want you to know we are not making any affiliate commissions by referring this product.
b) The website has a forum, FAQs, and demonstrations for use. You probably won't need it. The software is incredibly intuitive, however it is nice to know the product is well supported. Email support is excellent - every one of my questions have been answered within hours.

*NOTE: The first edition of The Stampede Secret taught v.91 feed creation, but we have re-written the creation chapter due to this software's release - it's that good!

P.S.: If you are a MAC user, you can download a MAC version of this software here.


Validate: Archive.org's Validator or FeedValidator.  Use either one of these once you have sent your file to your server. On the validator page enter the full URL to your RSS Feed in the text box (the full path to the .xml file you created). Click the validate button.

Submit: We bought the resale rights on this new product just for your use. 

Brand New: A feed submission software tool (unadvertised bonus). This software will submit your website's RSS feed to 51 feed directories in less than 10 minutes (on my tests). It's easy to use, but in a few days time I'll create a little tutorial to walk you through the steps. Download your personal use version here - install it on your machine, enter your rss feed's information in the boxes provided and submit your feed. You will be prompted for further information on about 10 of the sites. The software will walk you through the manual submissions. I'm sorry but this software only works on Windows based machines (no MACs). 

If you're a MAC owner, please start submitting your Feed to the directories on this page. Valuable tips included.
