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:

  1. Go to the Settings page of Google Reader
  2. 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)
  3. Click “Select: All {number} subscriptions” (left side of the page, right under the “Subscription” tab)
  4. Create a new tag under one of the feeds in “Change folders” (find “New folder…”)
  5. Go to “More actions…” and choose the tag you just created under “Add tag…”
  6. 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.
