# How to Share Everything with Everyone (well, a few things anyway)
It seems that we're sharing everything these days -- what we read, listen to, who we are, what we do. In this post I provide a little technical writer how-to on these topics.

### Sharing Your Google Reader Blogroll

To add a Google Reader blogroll to your site:

1. Go to [google.com/reader](https://google.com/reader), log into your Google account, and click **Settings **in the upper-right corner.

(By the way, as far as feedreaders go, nothing can compare with [Google Reader](https://google.com/reader).)

2. Go to the **Tags **tab.

You'll notice that your tags are basically your folders. I have my feeds grouped into different folders/tags.

3. Click the gray **public/private** icon ![](https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/idbwmedia.com/images/) to make your tag/folder public. The icon turns orange ![](https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/idbwmedia.com/images/).

4. Click the **add a clip to your site** link.

5. In the window that pops up, copy the javascript code (after selecting the color style you want).

6. Insert the code into a page of your blog. (When inserting code, it's best to switch to the code view of any editor you have.) If you use Blogger, it's even easier to add the code.

Voila, your Google Reader feed is magically integrated into your site.
