I have written before on a neat feature in FeedDemon that lets you roll your own Send To menu item that when selected will post the the service associated the the Send To menu item. In the previous post I provided samples to hook into both reddit and StumbleUpon.

That was all and good but as you can tell by some of the posts lately I have become a big fan of FriendFeed who also let you post new stuff directly to the service as well as the other stuff. So I wondered if it would be possible if I could add this option as well to the FeedDemon Send To menu.

After double checking with Paul Buchheit from FriendFeed if it was possible to submit to FriendFeed via the URL and finding out that it was I put together a template file for FeedDemon and much to my surprise it worked on first try.

For those FeedDemon users who want to give this a shot here’s the steps and code you will need.

1. Open up your favorite text editor

2. Insert the following snippet into the editor

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<fdsendto template=http://friendfeed.com/share?url={url}&title={title}
   service=”FriendFeed :: Share This” />

3. Save the file as .xml to the FeedDemon SendTo folder which you will find under Program Files.

4. Close your editor and restart FeedDemon.

Now for those of you less inclined to play around with text editors I have added a sample one to the post as a downloadable file.

Enjoy
