Grazr: OPML Navigation

Thanks to Rob Fay for pointing me at Grazr.com today. The site offers a slick way to turn OPML into an interactive navigation tree, through which you can navigate right down to and view RSS feed items.

A simple form on Grazr lets you build your own “web panel” from your URL-based OPML file. The result is an HTML and JavaScript block you paste into a web page, like so:

(Unfortunately, Javascript is blocked in most RSS readers. You’ll have to click through to the website to see it in action.)

    Hi Mark,

    I noticed that the grazr box shows up empty on your page. Looking at the page source, it looks like your facing the “wordpress quote” problem. I’m trying to come up with a workaround but it’s something I’m tracking. Basically word press is putting escaped ‘fancy’ quotes in the javascript include.

    Marashall Kirkpatrick found a worpress plugin to work around the reformatting in this post. It’s not the best solution but it does work.

    I’ll let you know when I have a better solution.

    I found an easy workaround… I moved the variables to their own .js file on my server. I did an include of my file just before the Grazr file, and voila.
