Secrets of RSS

Upgrading to a new RSS reader? There's an easy way to group the feeds you've subscribed to, export them to a single file, and use that file to subscribe to all the feeds at once.

RSS readers most often let you export your current list of feeds to a file written in OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) format. For example, all you have to do in the SharpReader RSS reader is select File > Export Subscriptions to save and name your current list of RSS feeds in an OPML file.

In your new RSS reader, you just open that OPML filein SharpReader, for example, you select File > Import Subscriptions, and your previous subscriptions are added to your new RSS reader. Very convenient.
