More Things Nbr 30 RSS Feeds and Filters

I experimented with Feed Burner and Feed Rinse.
Feed Rinse is really tedious to set up Feeds and Channels. Setting up Feeds, I created an xml file from Google Reader and successfully imported it to Feed Rinse. Dealing first with each of the participants in More Things, my first attempt resulted in multiple occurrences of the first blog on my list, 23 Things to Distract. Subsequent selections resulted in nothing, so I proceeded one by one to select, filter, and save changes. I saved a few and then created a Channel called Thing. Had to repeat all the steps already accomplished setting up the individual feeds. Finally, I clicked on the RSS icon and sent the results to Google Reader. Message from Google, none of my filter criteria had a match. My criteria was "allow if title contains Thing", which most of our posts do. Further attempts showed no indication in Google Reader that Feed Rinse was active.

Feed Burner did not recognize my Google Account username and password on my desktop pc, after I had created the account from my Dell laptop and saved the password via Firefox. I will try further to create feeds on Feed Burner, but so far cannot view the results.

Another post coming re Delicious.
