Do you read blogs in an RSS reader? If so, I’ve compiled the ultimate list of Excel RSS feeds.
Currently, it’s a list of 29 Excel-related blogs that have RSS feeds. To save you the trouble of subscribing, there’s also an OPML file that you can download and import into your RSS reader to create instant subscriptions to them all.
Here’s a quote from a satisfied user:
“I was surprised that I hadn’t heard of a few of those blogs.” – Dick

Have I missed any?
Hi John, nice work
http://www.codeforexcelandoutlook.com/blog/ is worth a look,
as is http://blogs.msdn.com/gabhan_berry/
There’s a couple on my Excel Blogs list http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/dicks-blogroll/ , but I don’t think they’re updated regularly.
Nice one John
That OPML is V useful, thanks
[…] The Ultimate List of Excel RSS Feeds John Walkenbach from Daily Dose of Excel.com published a fantastic list with feeds from great Excel Blogs. Where The World of Office.com publishes Excel Tips, Tricks and Tutorials that are usable for everyone these blogs almost all write about the more professional use of excel. If you are interested in learning more about Excel, then be sure to check out this article. […]
The link to the OPML file does not work for me, I get an XML parse error, could you fix it? I would like to try out these feeds.

Open the OPML file in a text editor and remove the last link which is to Dennis site, it doesn’t seem to like the ‘.Net’ in the title. Then go and add that one manually. There may be a better way, but that worked for me, I was already subscribed to Dennis feed.
Thanks for the reply, I have got them added now!
Sorry about that. The parse error is fixed now. It didn’t like the ampersand.
To be frank I like your old rssheadlines: http://j-walkblog.com/index.php?/weblog/rssheadlines/
With one click and I could see the 5 latest posts from a number of sites. Fast and simple.

Ola, you’d probably like this:

Actually, it would take me about 5 minutes to write the code to do the same thing with all of the blogs on my list. I might do that just for fun.
[…] I first heard about the blog list from Dick Kusleika’s blog, Daily Dose of Excel, where John mentioned the list. […]
Thanks John, that would be perfect.
I use the Update scanner to keep me posted (Firefox add-in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3362).
The Update scanner is a sidebar which highlights (yellow highlight) only the recent changes on selected websites. I like it’s simplicity.

Also I didnt see PODA on there Jon? might be worth adding
