			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just discovered that <a title="Google Reader" href="http://www.google.com/reader/" target="_blank">Google Reader</a> now has a &#8220;Send to&#8221; link under each item, for sending RSS items to Facebook, Twitter, etc. There&#8217;s also a way of creating your own Send to destination, which is exciting to me, as I&#8217;ve been using <a title="Instapaper" href="http://www.instapaper.com/u" target="_blank">Instapaper</a> for a while to mark pages to read later, but haven&#8217;t figured out an easy way to add items to Instapaper from Google Reader.<br />
This post will show what I did to add Instapaper to the Send to link on Google Reader.</p>
<p>The first step is go to Setting in Google Reader, then click on the Send To link at the top of the window.</p>
<p>Click on the &#8220;Create a custom link&#8221; button, and enter &#8220;Instapaper&#8221; (or whatever you want) in the Name field.</p>
<p>In the URL field, enter the following URL:<br />
<strong>https://www.instapaper.com/api/add?username=[EMAIL]&amp;password=[PASS]&amp;url=${url}&amp;title=${title}</strong></p>
<p>Just replace <strong>[EMAIL]</strong> with the email address you use to log in to Instapaper, and <strong>[PASS]</strong> with the password you use.<br />
If you don&#8217;t use a password with Instapaper, just omit the &#8220;&amp;password=[PASS]&#8221; part from the link.</p>
<p>Haven&#8217;t figured out the icon URL part yet, so leave blank for now.</p>
<p>Now click on Save, and you&#8217;re done.</p>
<p>Now, on each item in Google Reader, when you click on the Send to link under the item, Instapaper should be one of the choices.</p>
<p>Let me know how this works for you. <img src='http://www.bassamislam.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
