Thanks for the advice, Hendry! I’ll give the Google reader a try.

I agree. Google is able to import OPML so that certainly is worth a try. What I like about Google Reader is the ability to share with friends and display all headlines in one page. That makes processing very fast.

If you are familiar with Gmail, you will like the features.

FeedDemon is the way to go (now it is free) if you want a desktop version. It does support OPMML too.

Both allow you to create folders so you can categorize as you wish.

Hi Barbara, thanks for stopping by! Feel free to read on and don’t mention the link.

Steven, you’re welcome!

Hendry, I am a big comments fan, so i will definitely try I use Bloglines as a reader but I am looking for something I can use to categorize feeds. And it also needs to be able to import everything from bloglines It would be a big waste of time to resubscribe to over 100 blogs.

Let’s see if you will be able to change my mind about it. I have an open mind.

In my other blog, I have people ask to fix typo, delete duplicates, it becomes full customer support issue. That’s not where I want to go with my this blog.

I know some people who will say a blog without comments is not a blog, but that’s another argument.

I use FeedDemon and Google Reader. Google Reader has a great summary mode and sharing is instant. And I use FeedDemon to track new blogs.

It is my favorite news readers since 2005.

What do you use?

Hendry, I see your point. I’ll use your email for feedback, comments or questions until you decide to enable comments I’ve also subscribed to your rss feed a few days ago, that’s the simplest way I found to keep in touch with all the fine blogs on my list. What reader do you use?

Alina, thanks for your interest in commenting on my blog. And for welcoming me back too. I'll be a regular comment contributor. I've added your RSS feed to my blog a few days ago. I have a few reasons why I disable comments and leave trackbacks and pingbacks on. (link tagged as nofollow) My blog is still new. I appreciate the value of comments, but for now that is the policy of my blog. I am still open to feedback and answer email regularly.
