Please keep WPSE stuff on WPSE, you can comment there when you gain some reputation on site. My blog (and especially random posts on it) have nothing to do with my activity there.

]]> Comment on FeedDemon and Google Reader – best feed reading ever? by Jacob http://www.rarst.net/software/feeddemon-google-reader/#comment-257086 Jacob Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:49:38 +0000 http://www.rarst.net/?p=674#comment-257086 Feed demon needs a Mac version. I was forced to go Mac recently and for the life of me cannot find any feed reader with watches capability. Very frustrating.

I install it on everything. Even my jailbroken iPhone.

My only wish is I could make the transition longer than an hour, and have it start a little bit earlier. Other than that, if I need to do color sensitive work, I just disable it for an hour (closing my eyes first as it’s nearly blinding changing it from warm to blue that quickly).

Sorry, I hadn’t looked into solutions for plain text import.

Windows Live Writer looked possible, but you were right, it hasn’t been supported for 2 years. I found WP CSV, a CSV importer and exporter for posts, pages…But I think your excellent post on NotePad++ may be best for me.
I’m sorry my description of what I am trying to do was unclear. I am working with about 100 handwritten pages to go onto Wpress -and want to put them in a text editor and make backup copies -(thinking of using NotePad++ or another text editor) – and hoping to create an efficient way to get them onto WordPress. Is there an alternative to copying and pasting? Your suggestions are again appreciated

I am not sure what you are precisely trying to do from your description.

WordPress doesn’t just accept text file as input for posts and you are not supposed to just put them into database directly either.

You can try using desktop blogging client (I used to use Windows Live Writer, don’t know if it is still alive) or try to look up plugin that will do what you need – poke plugin repository http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/importer
