Land of the Lost Blogroll

I don't know quite how, but I have managed to accidentally delete my entire blogroll from Feedly (the Reader app I rely on). Four hundred and fifty blogs, many of which I have followed for years, have now vanished from my reading list... Eeek!!! 

I have found a way to restore them but its a slow process so apologies if I miss your posts over the next 24 hours. I'm working hard to restore them all but I still can't believe how easy it was for me to remove them from my reader.

  1. The blogroll has become a bogroll.

  2. I am curious to see how you are restoring this, as I do not see an obvious export/import function on Feedly.

    1. I'm working through my Recently Read list and manually re-following blogs. The list goes back years so with a little patience I am recovering the list. I reckon I have recovered about 80% so far with the majority that remains being 'dormant' and inactive sites. Its taken a few hours but I guess that's the price of stupidity!

  5. I've managed to recover most of the lost blogs. Sadly though I found that of the original 450 at least 50 are 'dead' (no posts in over a year).

  7. I finally found the way to import/export your Feedly sources - On the left of the page, by Feeds, there is a gear to click on which should bring up the Organize page. The Import button is obvious, but next to that button is an arrow, which is the Export OPML command.

Thank you for leaving a comment. I always try to reply as soon as I can, so why not pop back later and continue the conversation. In the meantime, keep rolling high!
