    Yes Adam, I sort of gravitated towards that myself at the end of the
    email. Writing helps thinking things out, doesn't it? :) Let me quote
    myself below, for reference"

    But still, there is a page that is shown saying the feed was added. Does
    adding the "Edit" options to that page really hurt? It currently
    displays a list of feeds that the user has subscribed to, but is that
    really neccessary? A short page, with options to change the
    folder/category of the newly-subscribed feed could speed things up
    (rendering) and make the workflow for adding new feeds much smoother,
    and more efficient.

    Sorry for not editing my email before sending it out. I should have
    put the important, and simplest method first, before the "staging
    page" suggestion.
