  • What you do is open Google Reader (Part of a Google account.)
  • Add all of the feeds to it by selecting “Add a Subscription”
  • gread1

  • Go into the “Manage Subscriptions” page (link in lower left)
  • Now, click “Add to Folder” and Create New Folder for the item
  • gread21

  • Now add the rest of the feeds to that folder in the same fashion.
  • Now to refresh, Click “« Back to Google Reader” then “Manage Subscriptions”
  • Goto the “Folders and Tags” Tab (near Manage Subscriptions)
  • Select your new folder, and select Public from the “Change Sharing…” drop down list.
  • gread3

  • You should now have “View Public Page” button.
  • That page contains a nice looking aggregate HTML view and a rss feed related to the page that you can add to any feed reader.
  • Here are my links: HTML and RSS
