I was talking with someone about how I try and keep some of all the information that is out here in a useable, readable fashion that I can access quickly. I mentioned that I use a Newsreader and sift through the \u2018noise\u2019 there easier than hitting dozens and dozens of sites and getting squirreled on tangents.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick run through of what I use and how.<\/p>\n

My go to newsreader is QuiteRSS<\/p>\n

Get QuiteRSS reader here<\/a>. I use the Portable version.<\/p>\n

Install\/unpack and launch.<\/p>\n

Some application options I use to make navigation easier:<\/p>\n

\"clip_image002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"clip_image006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I use the \u2018external browser \u2013 so the reader uses my Windows Default browser:<\/p>\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can import exported feeds (both OPML and XML formats).<\/p>\n

I have my news and other feeds already exported from previous Newsreader. I regularly export my OPML file after adding new feeds, and backup\/copy it to the cloud so that I may have it to use on my phone or other device I happened to load the portable reader on.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"clip_image012\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Easily add feeds for sites; example of adding HowToGeek site:<\/p>\n

\"clip_image014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Go up to feed icon and click and or copy that link. Looks like this:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/feed\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"clip_image016\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Copy that feed address:<\/p>\n

Then add to QuiteRSS. Open QuiteRSS and use the dropdown and add new Feed:<\/p>\n

\"clip_image018\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It should automatically find the copied item on your clip board<\/p>\n

\"clip_image020\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next and finish<\/p>\n

\"clip_image022\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now some real fun<\/b><\/p>\n

You can export all your YouTube Subscriptions and import them into your Feed Reader \u2013 QuiteRSS.<\/p>\n

Go to the YouTube subscription manager page:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_manager<\/a><\/p>\n

At the very bottom you\u2019ll see the button to \u2018Export subscription\u2019<\/p>\n

\"clip_image024\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on it and save your subscriptions, I just called them YouTubeScriptions.<\/p>\n

This will export an XML file of all your subscriptions which can then be imported into the Feed Reader<\/p>\n

\"clip_image026\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then open QuiteRSS and go to File>Import Feeds<\/p>\n

\"clip_image028\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select the file and import your feeds<\/p>\n

Now your Reader will have all your YouTube feeds\/subscriptions too!<\/p>\n
