Reading Lists

This page contains reading lists that I have created on different topics. Reading lists can contribute to a keeping up regimen by providing a targeted lists of news and information sources in a way that allows anyone to quickly and conveniently subscribe to the sources in their news aggregator. To use these reading lists you must first be subscribing to a news aggregator such as Bloglines. A reading list, technically speaking, is an OPML file. When the file is imported into one's news aggregator it will automatically subscribe to all the RSS feeds included in the OPML file. In other words it's a convenient way to add recommended resources to your keeping up regimen.

There are two ways you can obtain the reading list. For those news aggregators that will accept it you can simply cut and paste the URL of the web page where the OPML reading list file is located. For those that do not currently accept the URL method, simply right-click and save the OPML reading list file to your computer and then allow your news aggregator to import the file. See below for instructions on "importing subscriptions" in Bloglines.

How To Import the Reading List into your news aggregator (using Bloglines as an example)

    The objective of this operation is to add the listed feeds above to your news aggregator in a single step. This will save a good deal of time that would otherwise be spent subscribing to each feed individually. After all the feeds have been added to your aggregator you can decide which are the most valuable to you and then you can delete any that are of little or no use.

1. Access Bloglines

2. Click on EDIT to get started:

 

3. Scroll all the way down the page where you will find the IMPORT SUBSCRIPTIONS option:

 

4. Click on IMPORT SUBSCRIPTIONS. This will bring up a screen in the right frame of Bloglines that looks like this:

 

5. As indicated above - browse and find the OPML file that you downloaded to your computer - and then import it to Bloglines.
