Since about a week, all HTTP requests to
dashboard.bloglines.com return an empty
text/plain response, no feed. This is not the first time
it has failed, not the first time without any public notice.
When I tried to find others experiencing the same problem I came along is it down right now which not only confirmed what I saw but also contained a workaround to resurrect your feed list as OPML. It was one of the latest comments further down that page and I've forgotten who had written it - strangely it is no longer there.
- Go to
www.netvibes.comand login using your bloglines credentials. - In the upper right corner under "Dashboards" go to "manage dashboards"
- On the left hand side click "backup data" and select "Bloglines" from the pulldown. Now you've got an OPML feed.
- It seems you can then go to "my dashboard" and import the OPML feed to your netvibes dashboard using "Add" (upper left corner) / "Feeds" / "Import OPML" to start reading your feeds in the netvibes reader which looks a lot like the bloglines you are used to. I haven't read the terms of service, yet, you better do so yourself. In either case most every RSS reader out there should be able to import the OPML file you've just created.
