  OPML XSL BLT BBQ

  I’ve updated the OPML XSL stylesheet that I mentioned a while back. It now creates collapsable folders, has icons for feeds vs. links, and allows you to open all links in a folder by double-clicking on the folder name. It works for me in both Internet Explorer 6 and the major Mozilla browsers. You can [...]
