Import OPML into Safari RSS

May 1, 10:59 pmWhile there currently isn't a way of importing all your RSS feeds into Safari 2 (Tiger) here's a slightly roundabout way that works. You will need a copy of Firefox, with the Sage RSS extension installed To import your feeds:

In your RSS reader, export your feeds as a .opml file In Firefox, choose 'OPML import/export' from Sage's sidebar menu. Browse to your .opml file and continue. (Note: I had problems with pressing the continue button on my build, if you find it won't do anything, try double-clicking it) Once imported, close Firefox In Safari, choose 'Import bookmarks…' from the file menu, which will bring your RSS feeds in as a bookmark collection - check the bookmark manager window. (This will also import any other Firefox bookmarks too of course) To get Safari to register these as RSS feeds, open the imported feeds folder in tabs

I'm sure someone will soon create a way of doing this from within Safari (fancy a challenge Hao?), but this will do the job until then. I have only tested this with the .opml file created by NetNewsWire, but presumably should work fine for others.
