At the top of my blog there’s a link called “shared from google reader.”

The shared items shows all the posts I’ve come across that I think are worth reading (for my interests anyway).

The shared items page even comes with a feed. This shared feature is one of the neatest and easiest ways to share good posts without creating a link blog.

If you have a shared feed with Google too, let me know. Also, if you’ve never used Google Gears (which allows you to read your feeds offline), check out this tutorial from Lifehacker.

Using this method to unsubscribe can be tedious and time-consuming, because you have to leave the page you’re on and then scroll down to find the feed you want to unsubscribe from.

Instead, to unsubscribe from feeds in Google Reader:

1. Assuming you’re reading feeds from the All Items view, where all feeds are aggregated and sorted only by date, click the post title to expand the view.

2. Click the name of the feed as it appears next to the word “from.”

3. Click the Feed settings button and select Unsubscribe.

Thanks Reed for the tip.
