It's been a while since my first post about switching and since then I have made some changes. Specifically, I've switched my RSS reading from Vienna to Safari as recommended by henk, commenter #6 in the last post. It took a good Google search to figure out how to do it because Safari doesn't import OPML files. The basic process is as follows:
- Export your feeds from your preferred reader into an OPML file
- Install Mozilla Firefox (if not already installed)
- Install the Sage RSS Plugin for Firefox and import your OPML file
- Export your Firefox bookmarks and import them into Safari
- Move the bookmarks from the Safe Feeds folder to wherever you want them in Safari
- Open all feeds in a new window so that they will be recognized as feeds, if that doesn't happen you can edit the address and replace with http:// with feed:// (I had to do that for a few of them.)
In addition to making the full Safari switch, I have also transitioned the 3 remaining employees at my office to Mac Minis. Part 3 in this series will describe what was necessary to stage these new machines so they could be used by our employees. I'll give you a hint; not much.
