It’s good to have programmer friends. One of mine made a tool just for me and he said that I can tell you about it now, too. The tool is called Feedpour and it’s the kind of thing any pro blogger would love. Why pro bloggers? Because for those of us that write professionally, part of our responsibility is turning in invoices that list our blog posts and the rate we’ve charged. For many, I would imagine this is a manual process. It had been for me, at least until Feedpour. What this service does is take an RSS or Atom feed and allow you to export it to XLS, RTF, or PDF formats, which you can download and save to your computer. To begin using the service, you just register your feed on the site, after which you can then export your blog posts at any time by entering in a start date and end date for the posts you want to retrieve. You also must specify whether you want the the data arranged by columns or rows. And last, just pick your preferred export format and you’re done. What a huge timesaver this is! If you have any comments or questions about Feedpour, you can send them in here.
