The way that you make feeds available to your readers is through a collection of feeds called a taxonomy. This is a set of feeds of your choosing, organized into categories for your readers to browse through, and subscribe to.  The administration console has a tool called the “Taxonomy Manager” that provides an interface for configuring your taxonomy.

If you need to find feeds to put into your taxonomy, you can go to the NewsGator Online reader (http://www.newsgator.com) and browse through the categories offered in our taxonomy.

Using NewsGator’s Online reader is also a great way to build and organize your initial taxonomy. This can be done by using an account’s subscription list to provide the structure of folders (categories) and feeds that your taxonomy will offer. You can use an existing account, or you can create one specifically for this purpose. Once you have created your category folders, and populated them with feeds, you can export your subscription list as an OPML file (see INF: How to export your subscriptions (OPML) from NewsGator Online). Next, import that OPML file into the Taxonomy Manager in the admin console. Now you have a base taxonomy that you can make changes to through the admin site.
