| Google feed reader is out. I'm trying to see how to import my lists of feeds from Opera. I also hoe that I can set the reader to check the feeds as fequently as Opera can, every 5 minutes. |

The first reply to my post is Greek to me. Google Reader doesn't seem to work in Opera. But Opera has the best RSS reader for what I want, although it isn't portable the way Google Reader, or any web based reader, is.
And how do I delete the hundreds of newsfeeds coming through Google Reader once I've read them? |

Hey there. I couldn't find anything to do this when I was looking for it, so I wrote my own: Opera to OPML converter.
Fairly simple, just a web page with a couple of buttons. Works fine though. |

Sorry for the confusing post, I was a bit sleep deprived. You're right about Opera, you can't see some of the stuff in reader with it. I could see the plain text summary of the feeds but not the titles. I imagine Google will fix this but it's probably not a priority for them since Opera is a pretty small user base. It runs fine in FireFox for me though.

The converter works for me. But Opera's feed reader is the only one I know of that I can set to check for new feeds as frequently as every 5 minutes. I am baffled that all these feed readers give you no control over how frequently they update. What use are they for breaking news feeds and active forums? I have some hope that Google will make their reader the best it can be, but it isn't there yet. |

| What is the approximate daily volume of posts at this site? I can only handle so much from one RSS feed. High volume sites really should break things down with an RSS feed for each section. |

Yes you may be right there, maybe we could look into it.

OK, I've subsribed to the GC feed. At least the feed includes entire posts and not just a headline or snippet.
And Google Reader suddenly works in Opera. That's a pleasant early improvement. |

| I see that Google Reader can play podcasts. Is Google the first to do this? Or do other readers play podcasts along with their newsfeeds? |
