It’s important to organize feeds(RSS feeds or websites in list format) in a Google Reader, as when we read content on web, we encounter variable content; even when we go for particular categories like technology, we still come across smaller sub-categories like blogging, smartphones, seo etc. So orgainising websites on the basis of similar topic, frequency of use or degree of importance makes things very systematic and hence effective.
How to group websites to different folders in Google Reader:
Saving in folders means giving tags or names to a group of feeds which either share a similar topic, frequency of use or degree of importance.
Steps to save a feed to a particular folder:
Step 1: Display the feed on the reader window by Clicking on the feed link under Subscriptions link (on the left hand sidebar); if you have subscribed to a new feed, it’ll show in the Reader window by default, when subscribed.
Step 2: Now click ‘Feed Settings’ drop down box just above the most recent post and below the feed title (name of the website).
Step 3: Scroll the drop down menu to the bottom and choose new folder. A box will appear, type the name or you want to give to the folder like Blogging, seo etc. Click ok. The feed has been saved under the new folder.
Now if you want to save any news feeds to this folder, just go to the ‘feed settings’ and choose the name of that particular folder from the drop down list.
