How To Rename a Tag in Google Reader
Posted by RizMar 3
I use Google Reader to read several feeds of my interest. Recently I wanted to rename a tag ( category ) but I didn’t find this option any where in Google Reader. Finally I had to google for it and I found the solution of Googlified blog. Here is what Haochi Chen writes …
Many people complained about the lack of tag renaming feature in Google Reader. Sure, there is no direct way, but a simple get around would do the trick, and this is how you do it:
- Go to the Settings page of Google Reader
- Enter the tag name you want to change in the input field that labeled “Filter by name, tag, or URL” (right side of the page)
- Click “Select: All {number} subscriptions” (left side of the page, right under the “Subscription” tab)
- Create a new tag under one of the feeds in “Change folders” (find “New folder…”)
- Go to “More actions…” and choose the tag you just created under “Add tag…”
- Go to “More actions…” again and click the old tag that you don’t want, under “Remove tag…” to remove the tag.
That’s it, six steps aren’t much, you can do it under a minute.
