Steve Hooker makes some useful Radio tools. Recently, I installed his tool, backLogAllRSS which is designed to improve your search results on the Feedster search engine site.

I want my weblog, iceplant radio, to rank better at Feedster, an RSS search engine. You see, I've been weblogging at iceplant radio since 2001. Feedster came along in 2003 so there are a lot of posts on my weblog that visitors to Feedster don't know exist. What to do? Well, if you are running Radio UserLand just install Steve's tool and generate a backlog RSS file of your entire weblog by pressing one button. Then, index your entire blog with Feedster by telling them the address of that new file.

Now Feedster knows about the entire history of your weblog and will automatically pick up where it left off with your next post. A human will inspect the feed you submit first to keep the spammers away. Thanks for a very useful tool, Steve.
