How to Use Blinkfeed on the HTC One (M8)
The HTC One (M8) is one of the best Android handsets on the market, and has a ton of great features. One of those amazing features is Blinkfeed, which is essentially your one-stop shop for all things social in your life.
If you’re a bit confused about how to set it up, we’ve compiled a quick tutorial for you. Once you go through the easy process of setting it up, you might never actually log into a social network again.
Add your Social Networks to BlinkFeed
1. On your home screen, slide from the left to open Blinkfeed.
2. Open the settings menu, again sliding from the left.
3. Click the settings button on the top right of the menu. Click “Services and Apps”.
4. Select the social network you want streamed to your Blinkfeed. Log into the service if necessary (you’ll be prompted to sign-in if you need to).
Adding News Content to BlinkFeed
1. In the settings menu, select “Add content”.
2. Select the content you want to add to your feed.
3. Press the “back” button until you get back to your feed. Pull down to refresh your feed, and enjoy your new content!
Adding Custom Website to BlinkFeed
1. From the settings menu, select “Add content”.
2. Tap the magnifying glass at the top right.
3. Search for your favorite website and hit enter.
4. Select the website’s feed you want to add to Blinkfeed.
Adding RSS content to Blinkfeed
1. Click on the RSS feed link from the website you want to add using any browser on your HTC One (M8). Select “Blinkfeed RSS” when it prompts you to select how you want to complete the action.
3. Click the logo on the top right.
4. Rename the feed if you like. Note this won’t work with all feeds (those RSS links managed by Feedburner won’t work).
Posting to your Social Networks with Blinkfeed
1. While in the settings menu, select “Compose”.
2. Choose which service you want to post to — the native compose window will pop up.
3. Post as usual. Your content will push to the service right from Blinkfeed.
Removing Content from BlinkFeed
1. While in the Blinkfeed menu, click the settings button.
2. Select “Remove content”.
3. Use the checkboxes to the right to select the content you want to remove, then select “Remove” at the bottom of the screen.
Blinkfeed is easy to setup, and simple to use once you do! Do you have an HTC One (M8)? How are you enjoying Blinkfeed?

Ugh! This has been the bane of my past hour or so. Does anyone have a workaround?
