Right on... Good luck!  The reason the widget caught my eye in the first place was because of the lead-in suggesting its generic approach (e.g. not tied to any specific feed.)  If I'm going to have a widget feedreader its needs to be able to access and make available more than one feed...  I'm amazed that other widget developers find justification in developing one-feed widgets > I can see from a markleting perspective folks might see the widget craze in similar light to the Google toolbar or the similar where they can drive people to their site by providing them direct-browser access to simple utilities that make browsing more enjoyable/easier to find things.  I'm amazed, however, that folks either make this type of comparison, and therefore justify one-off feed reader widgets, or they have enough of a customer base that doesn't care about any other feed and therefore justifies such a centralized focus.

With all of the above, its nice to see that someone has realized a generic feed-reader was MANDATORY if they want any level of mass adoption.  This is the first one I have seen in the Opera widget library, so best of luck to you... you deserve some definite extra-credit points for (as far as I know anyway) for being the first off-the-line...  If nothing else, theres reward in such knowledge in and of itself, but I hope you win either way :)

Hello!

I'm glad this widget description wasn't considered something of an evil
nature :). I consider I made the mistake because of a typo on my behalf
and/or at the moment of writing the description I forgot the Atom version
number (this is because I don't work with feeds too often). I was hurried
to release the widget for their competition.

Yes, I will take the steps to get that fixed, ASAP.

Thanks for the nice reply :).
