So, I went to read my RSS feeds at The Old Reader just now, and they're shutting down public operations. In two weeks, my page there will go away.
So, I notice that my version of LiveMail has an RSS feed thingy. Given that two RSS feed webpages have gone belly up on me this month (Google Reader, although I left them last spring when they said they were shutting down in July, and now The Old Reader), I'm wondering how to use this RSS feed thing on LiveMail, because it won't go away, at least as long as I keep using this version of LiveMail. I don't do anything with my RSS feed reader except, well, read my feeds, so I don't need the social stuff GR and TOR provided. I never used that part.
But I'm not sure how to go about transferring my feeds to LiveMail's reader, or how to find out. Also, when I transferred a sample RSS feed to LiveMail, it insisted that there weren't any new posts to read when I knew there were. I would need to know how to fix this, as well as transfer my OPML file to it.
Help? Or is this a supremely bad idea and should I go looking for yet another third party website for my RSS reading? And if so what guarantee am I going to have that I won't be going through this again in another month?
Oh, and I'm reminded in a comment that Feedly did not turn out to be a viable option for me the last go round, so if I do end up using another third party reader, it's going to have to be something else.
Please, someone, anyone? The days are counting down till I won't be able to read my RSS feeds anymore!
ETA: Well, I tried Feedly again because I literally didn't know what else to do, and so far it seems to be working okay -- I don't know what I did last time, but now, as long as Feedly stays afloat, I should be okay. [crosses fingers]
