This week I looked at the storage of RSS subscriptions via a file named a opml file, I think this will be quite useful in my personal and professional life as I can not only backup my subscriptions but also share any subscriptions I feel others would be interested in without a long list of web links. I imported a test opml file from out class website in Google reader the process was quite simple and easy to use, First I clicked on the manage subscriptions link on the bottom left of the page, then I selected the import / export link along the top. I was then shown a page with a browse button on it as shown here:
I then selected the opml file and navigated back to the general Google reader page as shown in the below pictures:
As shown above once I was back at the main page I had a new list of subscribed RSS articles to choose from and with clicking on one on the left I was then able to choose the settings and sort them by oldest or newest and a few other options shown above.
I think this is a very useful tool that should be included in a complete personal or professional backup to save time and effort later on, I will definitely be using this in the future.
