Text color and alignment of boxes can be selected to suit your preferences. You can get a preview of the calendar in the PDF format at any time.

A lite version of the Feed Editor RSS Creator. A tool to create RSS Feeds.

Pros: This is a lite version of the Feed Editor RSS Creator which is useful for creating professional RSS feeds. It features an easy to use interface. The interface has an in-built HTML editor which makes HTML editing tasks simple and one doesn’t need to leave the tool to get that editing done. “Feed image” view is especially useful for visualizing what the RSS feed will look. “Feed items” view is where most of the editing takes place.

Cons: The publisher’s description reads the same as the Feed Editor RSS Creator version. This may give an impression that this is as good. Nothing can be farther from the truth.

Sadly, this is a (much) watered-down version of the Feed Editor and hardly any functions work or work to a level where they can be useful. The recommendation is to skip this one and go for the full version which is full-featured and a really nice tool for a novice as well as an expert looking to create professional RSS feeds. This is a trial version but one is better off trying the full version.

One of the best features which is the uploading of podcasts simply does not work in this version. As such the interface is too simple and could use some work.
