Google Reader Shared Items On Your Blog

You may have have noticed that my sidebar now has a section for items that I’ve recently shared in Google Reader.  I did this using the following two WordPress plugins:

Once you’ve downloaded these plugins to the /wp-content/plugins directory, follow these steps:

  1. Unzip and Activate these plugins
  2. Create a writable cache folder in /wp-content/cache (this problem is solved if you use WP-Cache)
  3. Login to Google Reader
  4. Click “Your Shared Items”
  5. Read through the text on the right side of the screen and look for a “a feed” link that is a link to your recently shared items in Reader
  6. Follow the SimplePie WordPress Plugin usage instructions to learn what PHP code you’re interested in.  It’ll look something like echo SimplePieWP(“your_feed_url”);
  7. Create a new template to customize the look of the feed.  This is the template that I’m using:

sh: /usr/bin/states: No such file or directory

I hope this helps!  Shoot me a comment if you run into any problems.
