Hi Dirk, In order to reply to you in a way people will be able to follow, I am going to concentrate my answers (per point) here: 1) PlanetR doesn't encourage the adding of new feeds. No where on the site is there a contact page or a submit new feed form. I give the full credit for the site

Hi Romain. 1) Thank you for the link to how to add myself to PlanetR. 2) What I meant was that you don't need an online aggregator, since you know how to use it with your own local software. Cheers, Tal Contact Details:---
