I've developed an XSLT file to make OPML files viewable by IE6 and Mozilla RC1. Example: daveWiner.opml johnRobb.opml

Details: OPML files must be sent to IE6 as text/xml. You need to add a line like this to your OPML file, just after the <?xml?> line:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" 
                 href="http://mah.everybody.org/opml-xsl"?>

That's it! Of course, if you don't want to rely on my server, you would copy the opml.xsl file to your own server and change the URL to point to it. (There is also a CSS file you might want to get as well.)

My code should be spiffed up with javascript to make the nodes expand and collapse, but I ain't that good yet.

I signed up for Google AdWords Select today. I'm not activating it, just checking it out. But it gives incentive to me to get things going as far as the spam-free email. I notice several other people doing it, as well.

I like the fact that it lets you get an idea of your click-through rate. I'm surprised at what they estimate. I like the fact that it lets you limit how much you can pay per-day.

Very nice.
