Another Roll-Your-Own-Custom-RSS-Feed: Rollup

First there was Feedpapers, now there's Rollup, another roll-your-own-RSS solution. It's available at http://www.rollup.org/rollup/ .

Like Feedpapers, Rollup has a "wizard" to walk you through the process. The process starts with registration (that requires only an e-mail address and password. Next you'll be asked for a list of feeds. (You can add more feed boxes than the three on the page; just click on the Add More Feeds to add additional feed boxes, one at a time.) As you add feeds you can click on the test button next to the input box, and Rollup will tell you if it finds the feed valid or not (Rollup doesn't support Atom at the moment.)

You can also format the colors of the header, font style and size, etc. Once you've done all that you can either preview the style, or you can save it. Once you've saved it you'll get an e-mail from Rollup with the permanent URL of your Rollup. Rollup.org will save the site as long as people visit it. Rollups with no visitors for 14 days will be deleted.
