All you need to do is:

  1. Download this OPML file: google-reader-subscriptions.xml (25.02 KB)
  2. Open your Google Reader (or RSS Reader), and find an option where you can upload this file.
  3. Presto! You've recreated my library of RSS feeds.

Any readers of this blog who'd like to share their own OPML file, please include a link to download in the comments. (You can create an OPML file easily from Google Reader by going to "Settings" and asking it to export.)
