Written by Hello everyone! We just finished the OPML for all the blog URLs.
I am super excited to read your intro posts via all the feeds I just added to my Feedly. All the course activity and posts can seem like a raging waterfall but utilizing a feed reader will help you! And savvy information professionals use news aggregators such as Feedly to stay current on topics of interest.
If you are using a feed reader (like Feedly), you can easily import this into your reader and have access to all the student blogs in our section of INFO 200. Also, there could be additions, but I will post those individually for you to add. And let me know if your blog is not listed!
The OPML populates your reader with a collections of feeds made up of student blogs from my sections of 200 and our Section Site course blog newsfeed and activity feed.
I would suggest downloading it to your desktop (via whatever method of mouse clicks you use on your computing platform) and then importing the file into reader of your choice. I suggest Feedly and use it in the steps below.
Follow these steps if you are using Feedly:
- Set up an account with Feedly
- Read over this helpful page: https://blog.feedly.com/opml/
- Click on your user profile pic and select Organize Sources
- In the Organize Sources window locate the import OPML button
- Click on Import OPML and locate the file you saved above or drag and drop the file if your browser supports that functionality.
- Follow the directions on the import screen: Choose file and Import
- You are ready to go!
So here’s the challenge to some fearless INFO 200 student – please add the OPML to your reader and report back here in a comment!
For some background, view this video:
Other sites will import differently but the OPML is a standard file type.

I got the OPML set up on Feedly! Super convenient, thanks Professor!
I just added the OPML to Feedly and it’s working great! Having all the blogs in one place will definitely make it more efficient to stay engaged with everyone’s posts. Looking forward to reading the introduction posts and following along with the discussions!
All set here with adding the OPML to Feedly, and appreciate how well it’s organized without much effort on my end (my brain and eyes are already grateful). I love seeing all the creativity here and the semester just started!
@gwen @carolineashcraft @cecinsd Thanks for diving in! Glad you all like the way it works. 😀
I got the OPML file imported and it looks great! This should help a lot. Thanks!
I’m all set up on Feedly now!
I was able to set up my Feedly! Thank you.
I’m in! Thank you @michael, this is quite convenient:)
I was successful in importing up the OPML file to Feedly. I am excited to have one central place to view everyone’s blogs.
After some bumps and briefly locking myself out of the course WordPress, I got the OPML file uploaded to my Feedly.
Was finally able to figure this out! This is extremely helpful, thank you professor.

Thank you so much for diving in and setting this up. I think it’s going to be incredibly useful for monitoring our course this semester.
Thank you! This is such a great tool!
@elenaloper Yay! 😀
Sorry, I’m a little late to the game but I did it! This is very helpful!
@kelliecb

@kelliecb
Great! 👍
It took me moment to get the dropbox setup so I could dl the file, but I did – and apologies for the tardy confirmation, here. I’ve had it running for a while now.
@georgerothrock Yay! 😀
