4. Import Your Subscriptions.XML file (You can find it inside the google Zip file you downloaded – Unzip and Import here).

  2. Been using Feedly for a while now and it’s starting to grow on me, but once Reeder updates itself to accept Feedly accounts I will be fine again.

    I still miss Google Reader.
