OK, that's great. I even like the fact that when I hit the subscribe 
button that it opened my reader and it automatically subscribed me.

Now for something completely different, sort of.

This: http://www.sonsothunder.com/feeds/STSRevUpdates.xml RSS file is 
formatted as version '2.0' and will also work inside of Intuition 1.5. 
The procedure for using it follows. Open a file in Intuition 1.5 or 
create a new one, go  to Import / RSS & Auto Load,  enter this URL: 
http://www.sonsothunder.com/feeds/STSRevUpdates.xml into the URL 
window, press Get RSS. That will download this RSS file. After that is 
complete press Import. You now have all the items of this RSS feed as a 
page in Intuition of the currently open Intuition file. If you add a 
RSS link back to that feed's URL then you will have an automated 
version that automatically downloads this RSS file while opening 
Intuition's own internal reader. Do this by selecting some text to make 
a link out of and then by using the E menu go all the way to the bottom 
of the E menu to select RSS link. When prompted enter this URL, 
http://www.sonsothunder.com/feeds/STSRevUpdates.xml , to complete the 
creation of the RSS link.

I think in the next upgrade I will add placing this RSS link 
automatically  so the user does not have to create the link. Anyway 
with Intuition you can create a book / archive of RSS feeds  from Ken's 
Rev-Updates. I hope that this link is meant to be a constant URL for 
that feed? The cool thing that is different about Intuition is that RSS 
feeds that link to on-line Intuition files can be downloaded and merged 
directly from the RSS reader. That is a huge difference than just being 
able to go to a website in your primary browser. Intuition files are 
multi-paged and can contain all the images if formatted that way.

Intuition 1.5 is completed. Normally you would download the latest 
version from Tucows but they don't have the newest version up yet.

To get the Mac OSX version download from here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~gizmotron/intuitionX.sit
 From Tucows when latest versions exist:
  http://www.tucows.com/preview/390071.html

To get the Windows version download from here:
http://www.leveltron.com/windownload.exe
 From Tucows  when latest versions exist:
  http://www.tucows.com/preview/390072.html

You might need to paste these URLs into your browser window to get them 
to download properly. Links like this from an email client don't always 
open the browser's file download.
