I lost all my feeds on google homepage

I was using googles personalized homepage to add and read my newsfeeds, it was pretty good for that until one day I logged onto to it and all my feeds had disappeared, I had hundreds of them and half of them weren't bookmarked. I looked around the net for awhile looking for a solution to fixing this problem bit none of it helped.

I can spend ages searching for a solution to a problem but thought to myself "screw this I'm going to start over". I was using fireant before google but found that a little to clunky, it was good for downloading videos from the feeds though. So I looked around, downloaded a few, tried a few online feed managers. Most of them didn't have the feel I was looking for, some didn't work and some were unusable.

Bloglines came up a lot seems to very good for the online option but I wanted something a little more offline like.
I've settled for a firefox extension called Sage, mainly because it was easy to install, setup and have had no problems with it so far, I didn't want to manually look for each of my feeds that I lost with google homepage so I headed over to bloglines downloaded a few OPMLs with similar topics as mine, imported them into Sage and now I've gotten back what I lost plus more, many more.

I've just recently started using firefox and can't believe how much time it has saved me.
