another weblog

I just blogged about Snackr. And then I was thinking “I wonder if I can just add a group from google reader, that way it won’t display items I’ve already read.” It turns out you can, with just a little bit of chicanery.

Step 1: Open google reader

Step 2: click on “Manage Subscriptions”

Step 3: click “Tags”

Step 4: identify the group you want in Snackr

Step 5: make sure the tag is marked as “public” If it isn’t, click on the rss icon in the line so that it turns orange.

Step 6: if the group is public, you should see several options for it on the right side of the page. Click on “view public page”

Step 7: a new window will open up. Copy the url of this page and paste it into the “Add Feed” box in snackr.

That’s it. Relatively simple.
