I'm trying to create a categorized blogroll, and NewsGator is making the process miserable.

I subscribe to 230 feeds. About 100 of those don't belong in my blogroll. If I do a list of the other 130 or so it turns into a long alphabetical list that is essentially useless. So I'd like to categorize the links into categories.

I can do this by setting up a new location for each category and giving it a name like "Blogroll-Digital Media" or "Blogroll-Windows." I have 10 or so categories.

But when I go to edit each location, all 230 feeds are there, already selected. Arrrggghhh! I have to carefully uncheck all but the handful I want in that category, one painful click at a time. That's 10 categories times 230 feeds minus the 130 I want in my blogroll, which equals more than 2000 clicks!

This would be tolerable if there were an "Unselect All Feeds" link for a given location. But as far as I can tell that option isn't available. Any suggestions for making this process less kludgey and painful?

Ed - you're completely right.  A select all / unselect all would certainly be a great start towards making this a bit easier to use...I'll pass this along to our development team.

Thanks!

Hello Ed,

Just to let you know, we have added "check all" and "uncheck all" links to our Edit Locations for more ease in managing your feeds for each of your locations.

Enjoy!
