(If you're not sure why I bothered, you might like this simple explanation of RSS and why it matters for Bloggers, in particular ones who want to research things).
I used Google Takeout to migrate my existing subscriptions from Reader to The Old Reader. (And yes, I did carefully file that exported file away, just in case I want to migrate to some other service.)
Because my subscriptions in Google Reader were organized into categories, these categories were automagically imported into my The Old Reader account.
But today I wanted to change my categories - and it wasn't obvious how to do this from either my settings or profile.
How to make a new category AKA folder in your The Old Reader subscriptions list
To add a new grouping to the subscriptions in a The Old Reader account:- Click one feed that you would like to move to into the new category - and hold it down.
- Drag it to the empty space below your last folder, and drop it into place.
Note: as you do this, the words "NEW FOLDER" appear at the bottom of the list of categories.
To move other items from your existing subscriptions into the new category, just drag-and-drop them too.
How to rename your new folder
To change the name of a folder/category in The Old Reader:- Double-click on the existing name - this makes the name open for editing.
- Type the new name, and press Enter to save it.
How to change the order of your categories
You can re-organize your folders - but only one at a time.- Click the folder that you want to move, and hold.
- Drag-and-drop it into the new place.
Putting feed-items into multiple categories?
For the moment, this is not possible: each item that you subscribe to in The Old Reader can only be in one folder.Related Posts
