I was organizing some stuff on my computer today and was catching up on some RSS feeds. I’m a huge fan of Del.icio.us and use the awesome Delicious Bookmarks for Firefox which allows you to easily add pages to your Del.icio.us account. Something I wanted to do though was to move my items that I have starred in Google Reader to my Del.icio.us account. Here are the steps you can follow so that you can do it too:
- Go into Google Reader and click on Settings
- Once in settings click on Tags
- Underneath Tags there is a listing called your Starred Items, Select it and change the sharing to Public
- Once that is done click on view page
- Click on the RSS feed for this page
- go back to google reader and see how many actual items you have in your feed list
- whatever the count is append the RSS feed with ?n=number of feeds Mine was: ?n=241
- You’ll get an xml output, take the url for that page and load it into FireFox as a Live Bookmark
- This will load up all of the entries into FireFox.
- Once this is done, make sure that Del.icio.us Bookmarks is installed – This speeds up things a lot
- Click on Organize Bookmarks under Bookmarks
- Go to the section that your Google Reader Starred items are located
- Select All and click the button that says Import into Delicious
- You can auto tag the entries with one tag so you can sort through them later, or let Delicious Bookmarks tag them for you
Now you have all of your bookmarks under one roof.
