I'll confess that I haven't found much use for an OPML feed yet for a blog, but some geeks might insist that if it can be done, then it should be done.
The following template is an example of how to create an OPML feed for your Movable Type 4.1 blog that traverses through the categories and subcategories, listing the entries within each:
Name the feed file something sensible, say, "index.opml" and select to have it published automatically.
To also enable autodiscovery of the feed, add the following line to the Header template, between the <head> and </head> tags:
I have no idea how it will render in any OPML reader, because I haven't been able to locate one. However, the feed appears to validate correctly.

To also enable autodiscovery of the feed, add the following line to the Header template, between the <head> and </head> tags:
<link rel="subscriptions" type="text/x-opml" title="<$MTBlogName encode_html="1"$>"
ref="<$MTBlogURL$>index.opml" />
I have no idea how it will render in any OPML reader, because I haven't been able to locate one. However, the feed appears to validate correctly.
