Importing Feeds

The Import/Export wizard allows you to import feeds from an OPML file present on your computer or hosted on a website.  Almost all feed readers use the OPML standard to import and export their feeds.  You can import feeds from any feed reader that is capable of exporting feeds to a standard OPML file.
