Moving from Jäger to Sparks!

If you're a current Jäger user and would like to try out Sparks! here's how you move your subscription list over.

Export your subscriptions from Jäger

  • Select Actions > Tools > Export Blogroll or OPML
  • Select the Publish as OPML link
  • Scroll down to the section Blogroll
  • Right-click on the link
  • From your browser, File > Save

Save this file as C:\blogroll.opml or whatever tickles your fancy.

Import subscriptions into Sparks!

  • Select Import > Import OPML Directory...
  • Enter C:\blogroll.opml or use the Open OPML File... to select the file you exported from Jäger
  • Press OK

And you're off to the races. If you need to "catch up" on what you've already read, select My Weblogs and right click > Move All to Read. As always, remember that the trick to using Sparks! is just pressing the button.

Note that we're not giving up on Jäger development or support! However, we will be focusing on Sparks! for the next little while, then on development a set of online services to complement both products.

I made the switch a few days ago, using exactly this method.

Unfortunately, this way all monitored web sites that don't have RSS feeds (remember the reason why we originally moved to Jäger?) are lost. I had to manually re-add them all.
