Really appreciate it. Regarding the bookmarklets, I think I need to be a little clearer in explaining what these do and how they differ. :) The first bookmarklet (feed to pdf) works with feeds only. For the most predictable result you should click it when you're actually viewing a feed in your browser. If you're viewing a webpage and not a feed when you click it, the tool will try to discover the feed URL automatically, if it can't it will fail to generate a PDF. The second bookmarklet differs slightly. If you're viewing a feed it will try and retrieve the full-text content of feed items and include them in the final PDF. If you're viewing a webpage and not a feed, it will _not_ try to discover the feed URL like above, it will assume you want the contents of the page you're viewing to be turned into a PDF. I'm trying to think how I can simplify the tools so people don't get confused with the results. Thanks again for the write-up! :) Thanks for the review Richard! Really appreciate it.
