Re: New OLN Courses Database file for import to Google Reader

Thanks Bill, glad that that worked. I wish the database export function was being as cooperative. Owen.

Hi Owen,

On another note, I did manage to get your LRB article up and running with links intact.  As you indicated, it required work using Acrobat Pro that I was able to do in the ILC computers.  As Shakespeare said, "All is well that ends....."

OK. Thank you. It may be a problem then. I have imported it into Bloglines (another online reader). It looks good so far. It will take a few hours to refresh the feeds. Then I will export it from Bloglines into Google Reader again. That might clean it up. Thanks again, Owen.

I also tried it, but it mixed in with my existing folder structure so I can't easily tell what is new and what is not new.

Dear C3ers,

I tested importing the database file again just to check that results were reliable. However, the collection it produced in the test Reader was missing 4 folders. I created these 4 folders again in the test Reader and added the feeds to them, so now the database in the test Reader is complete and organised correctly. This is the file that I am sharing with you now and is linked to in the session handout.

I have tried importing a few different files a few different ways and I hope this file is the most reliable, but I do not have more time now to test it anymore.

Can a couple of C3ers please import this attached file into their reader and check that it returns 12 folders, with all feeds in a folder?

Thank you for your help.

Best,

Owen.

Dear C3ers,
