Err... having a go AGAIN would be more truthful as I rushed through your excellent guide and failed :-( It's true what they say about guys and reading instructions! No worries, I'm a slow learner and I'll take my time at the next attempt.... Thanks so much for this info, you’ve got me all enthusiastic about having a go.

No worries, I’m a slow learner and I’ll take my time at the next attempt….

I must have 50 that I have marked. I know how to export my feeds and such since I do it to sync them up at home. I'll check out Bloggers feeds. BTW feeds are how I keep up with your blog besides the link in the blog roll on my blog. fasthair Ms. Stacy: I agree RSS feeds are the way to go. I must have 50 that I have marked.

Here's a page with instructions on how to export one in IE7: <a href="http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/cebbdc80-5674-41b3-a6ff-181b9e2164ab1033.mspx#EF" rel="nofollow">http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/cebbdc80-5674-41b3-a6ff-181b9e2164ab1033.mspx#EF</a> Once you have the OPML file, open up your new feed reader and look for an import feature. Google Reader hides it somewhere within the "Manage Subscriptions" page. Maybe you can export from IE7 and import into Windows Live? @irondad: Be forewarned... once you find how convenient RSS feeds can be, you might end up spending more time using your feed reader than the actual web browser. I know I do! @fasthair: If you want to try another feed reader out, but don’t want to have to re-subscribe to every single feed, you can export your subscriptions as an OPML file.

I'm in a hotel room in Kirkland. Catching up on blogs, what do I find? You're making me famous, again. Thanks so much. When I get back I'm going to spend some time running through these posts. RSS feeds are something I haven't messed with. You've inspired me and given me the information to check it out! Wow! I’m in a hotel room in Kirkland. Catching up on blogs, what do I find?

I know such a bold move to take but it works for me. :) Yes I know I can't take my feeds with me because of this but... I use Windows Live a lot and as such can take my bookmarks and feeds with me. As far as finding the feed I just look at the little orange icon to light up then just click on it. Looking forward to see what tricks you have up your sleeve. fasthair Ms. Stacy: I just use the built in RSS reader in IE7.
