drmike,

That's true. Probably most people are not. I have access to some server space, plus I have EasyPHP running on my computer. Most people using wordpress.com have neither.

Perhaps I will set up a form on my server space where people can enter the their username and category as variables and it will generate the OPML for them. If I do I will add the link to this thread.

Better yet, perhaps wordpress.com could take the script and do that. Perhaps they could even incorporate it into the blog.

Thanks.

teh sticky

You're beginning to type like me. :)

I'd add it but it's a PHP script. That's not something most people are going to be able to run. (Unless I'm missing something here.)

This is not a question, but a solution to a question I had. I use del.icio.us to manage my bookmarks. I wanted to import them as links into my sidebar, and I could not figure out how to do it. Del.icio.us does not export OPML, and apparently WordPress does not import RSS. So, I needed a script that would convert RSS to OPML. I found one, but it was designed to create OPML for podcasts, and that did not work for WordPress. I tweaked it, and it works now. If anyone wants the script, you can find it at my blog NeoArch
