Is there a way to export starred items from Google Reader?

I am familiar with exporting/importing RSS feeds, however I would like some way to backup the thousands of starred items that I have collected. I don't even necessarily need to be able to export the "blurb" contained with the starred item (although that would be nice), as long as I am able to pull the URL.

Thanks for any insight you can lend!

• This is one way to do it http://www.rimmkaufman.com/rkgblog/2008/09/19/google-reader-export-starred-posts/ it does look to be a bit ugly and not straightforward though.

• 1. Go to google reader
  2. Go to settings page
  3. Click on folders and tags
  4. Your starred items are private, you can make them public
  5. then you can access a public page which has a feed

  6. Look at the xml, almost all xml from google reader has something that looks like this

     <gr:continuation>CJyPg4L2wKIC</gr:continuation>

  7. take that and add it to the end of the rss URL like so ?c=CJyPg4L2wKIC, it will allow you to paginate through your starred articles.

• This MIGHT work for you...

  Load your STARRED items in Google Reader. Copy the URL, like so:

  https://www.google.com/reader/view/#stream/user%2F14791004...804797%2Fstate%2Fcom.google%2Fstarred

  Change the bolded portion to read atom, like so:

  https://www.google.com/reader/atom/user%2F1479100...804797%2Fstate%2Fcom.google%2Fstarred

  Load that up and see if it works out.

  NOTE: That link won't work for anyone and this solution will only work if you have an active login session with Google Reader.

• I share while starring them. Then I use the RSS feed to import the feeds into an external RSS reader like Outlook.

• I made a ruby script that exports the link of each starred items to a txt file and an html file (to import as bookmarks).
