Import OPML from Crazedlist

Sheesh, I've got to put this here so I'll always be able to access it.

Select feeds for whatever you want

Copy feed info from top window

Paste into notepad document and type in whatever you want to call it and put .opml on the end

Don't save yet! -> make sure that the document type is "All Files".....not "Text Documents"

Now save it to a folder somewhere so that the files won't get lost

For google reader:

Get into google reader and go to Settings->ReaderSettings
select Import/Export and go to your file

it will import it, but it won't sort it - once you have stuff in there, it will automatically take you to the Manage Settings page (which you can get to later by hitting the link below your feeds)

select the feeds that you want to put into a folder and then go over to the right hand side and hit the Change Folders button ->New Folder

now, the feeds will be in a folder that you can select/deselect

the next file import will dump all of the new stuff in with the old, but just hit the Unassigned link at the top of the Manage Selections page and it will pick out all of the new stuff as long as you import one file batch at a time

For Thunderbird:

Get into Manage Subscriptions
Click Import
Move into folders as needed
