RSS readers and blogroll

January 21st, 2008 tristan Posted in Blogroll, blogging 1 Comment »

I’ve changed my RSS reader from Gregarius, a web based reader I ran on a computer at my parent’s house to Google Reader.
This change was prompted by having too many feeds for Gregarius to cope with and a desire to start decommissioning that server (although it still has all my emails on it).

In the process of moving things over, I added the LibDem blogs individually, this enables me to remove the local only blogs which I don’t ever read and has also made me notice a couple of blogs as distinct entities rather than just part of the general list.
Unfortunately, this may mean missing out on new blogs, perhaps someone could make an RSS feed of changes to the blogs on LibDem Blogs? (otherwise I’ll have to write a script to download a list of blogs and compare it with a previous one… I could then put that in an RSS feed).

Another idea for LibDem blogs is an OPML feed. It would have made importing all the blogs individually much easier…

I’ve also changed my blog roll to use the OPML file for the blogs I have in the reader (minus a few private feeds). This is achieved with this widget.
