Renaming Folders In Google Reader

I use Google Reader for all of my RSS feeds. While I love the ability to open it from both my home and work computer and have all my items available, one thing it really lacks is the ability to easily ‘reorganize’ your feeds. Moving items is simple enough as you just need to drag and drop, but when it comes to renaming, the process is not intuitive.

I ran into this the other day when I want to rename of the folders I have set up. I figured it was a simple enough process, just go to the ‘Tag Settings’ folder and rename it but this is not a something you can do. Instead you have to go through this process to easily rename a folder.

Basically, it involves creating a new folder, moving the items and then deleting the old folder. To me, it shouldn’t be this difficult but I don’t rename folders often enough to where this bothers me. Regardless, I now have an easy way to ‘mass move’ my subscriptions thanks to the instructions above.
