+ 10 - 4 | § ¶Adding feeds in 1.0
In the upcoming release (1.0) jPodder has many ways to maintain your Personal Feeds. This little post is to give a summary of what is possible.
Personal Feeds can be added manually with the Feed Manager (Menu Feeds-Add Feed or double-click en empty row in the feed table. ). In the Feed manager, we now have a simple context menu. When right-clicking on a text field a popup will show the "Paste" action so a podcast link can be pasted in.
The Feed Manager can also come "pre-filled" when adding feed with Drag and Drop or the build-in IPX directory. Whatever information is available, is shown in the Feed Manager. Simply drag a link from your web-browser into the feed table to active the feed manager. (Press Alt-Tab to switch between webbrowser and jPodder). The directory contains more information like a description of a podcast. To add from the directory, simply click your way through the podcast entry and press the "Add [podcast name]" button.
In this new release you will also be able to synch your Personal Feeds with an online list on e.g. PodNova or PodcastPickle. Please follow the instructions on these sites to create your OPML list and get the link to this link. In jPodder 1.0 there is a new setting called Synchronization where you can put in this link to your online OPML Feed list.
jPodder now supports most (if not all) possible ways and conveniences to past or manage Feed URL's.

thanks to August & Ray over at iPodderX. They fixed the problem on their side. While talking about the directory, Woudn't it be nice to click on the web-url of a podcast and launch your browser? Let's talk about it on the forum
+ 7 - 2 | § ¶jPodder 1 year celebration!
1 year ago, I made the first build of what was formally known as iPodder. A week later on the 13th of Sep 2004, I registered the iPodder project on sourceforge. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ipodder-dev/message/5 This project later also hosted the iSpider project which is written in Python. For some time we had a Python and Java version of iPodder on the same project! The projects were not in sync, and we had to depart. I handed the project over to the iPodder/lemon/iSpider team and registered jPodder.
Here is a retro-shot from jPodder 0.2 (Whaa!)

The rest is history.....
