As many of us now know, Google Reader was officially terminated on July 1st. This was much to my chagrin... I had the gReader app on my phone and would happily scroll through my feeds--which were all imported from Blogger.com. Well, with Reader down the tubes my easy phone access to my blogs was suddenly cut short.
You would think getting Blogger RSS subscriptions imported into a RSS reader app would be no big deal...
I just spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out how!! I failed to import my subscriptions out of gReader into another app before it shut down, so I had to figure out a round-a-bout to get things switched over.
I ultimately went with Feedly as my RSS reader of choice. I then went into Google Takeout and exported my Reader subscriptions into a .xml document (which is ultimately downloaded as a .zip file, and you have to go into it and copy/paste the subscriptions.xml document into another folder), from there I could go into the cloud portion of Feedly and import it (which is referred to as a OPML Import--and no, I don't know what that means). That, thank goodness, finally brought all my blogger feeds into Feedly. But, now I don't know if it will automatically pull in new feeds, or if I'll just have to subscribe to them through both Blogger and Feedly?? Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there....
In the meantime, in honor of the 4th of July weekend and because it is the 150th Anniversary, I am watching my favorite movie of all time: Gettysburg
