So you can essentially group together any blogs you enjoy reading into a folder and then just export that folder - and you can of course have other folders in there which you read and do not export. That part of things is fairly simple.<br /><br />On Bloggers end, you can have an RSS feed gadget in your sidebar. It only allows you to show 5 items, though. That is where the massive issue is. :(<br /><br />There are some third party options but none of them seem especially reliable. <br /><br />What you could do, is do one RSS feed gadget for each separate blog that you follow, and allow just one item for each blog. It would not look quite as pretty as the present list, but it would at least allow those new blogs you want to add a space until the add button is fixed. <br /><br />If it is fixed, that is. I do have a sick-ish feeling that Blogger is not a huge priority for Google anymore. So I do think looking at other options - and at a minimum creating yourself a wordpress account and making sure you get the blog name over there that you would want to use, if and when you should ever need to move over there, might be worth doing. And that is something I will write a how to guide on in coming weeks, seeing as my other how to guide won't be happening, at least not for blogger. ;) I may do one for Wordpress. :)<br /><br />I would also take a moment to back up and export your blog here, in case anything goes awry. Blogger has a habit of losing peoples photos as a surprise to them, as well as deleting blogs for no particular reason. :(Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934143064049972234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-20231171907050808442015-06-22T14:49:10.760-05:002015-06-22T14:49:10.760-05:00Depending on how long they take to fix the issue w...Depending on how long they take to fix the issue we might be updating at the same time.Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-6205458121262924972015-06-22T14:48:09.547-05:002015-06-22T14:48:09.547-05:00Yes, truly sad.

You can then link to the bundle and everyone can see the blog posts from the blogs you are reading.<br /><br />I should probably make a tutorial on how to do this, actually. I've been looking for how to guide topics and I might add this one to it, plus, I might see if there is an easy way to make Inoreader bundles do that thing in your sidebar. :)<br /><br />Well, I was bored - nothing on the teevee, just finished reading all my blogs, was wondering what to do next, this could be it. :)Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934143064049972234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-48052914602274904102015-06-19T21:38:12.842-05:002015-06-19T21:38:12.842-05:00Yesterday my computer guru helped me transfer my b...Yesterday my computer guru helped me transfer my blog from the email address that was hacked to a new one at google. It meant I gave up my blog list. Horror. But, I opened the old blog in another browser, and one by one opened the blog, copied the URL, went to the new blog and put you all back in, one at a time. If my Add button had let me down, too, I may have melted down.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
