Where are RSS feeds in Mountain Lion?

I have just Migrated (via Migration Assistant) to my new MBP 15 Retina running Mountain lion 10.8.2.

Now I can't find my RSS feeds. Where are they? There were many feeds there that I use for my business and they, as well as their content from months back, have all disappeared.

That is content I really rely on in my business.

How I come I never knew this would happen? I thought I'd researched the migration to ML from SL really thoroughly. I guess I assumed the whole shebang would transfer.

If this is a feature that's been deleted from ML, what are my options for reinstating RSS feeds on my MBP? And how could I regain them from my clone backup of my previous MBP (running Snow Leopard)?

Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 16GB RAM, 3 iPods, iPhone 5, iPad 1

Actually, the feature disappeared last year with Lion.

RSS feeds aren't on OS X Mountain Lion, so you must install a 3rd party program. You can use one of these apps > http://www.cultofmac.com/182077/five-ways-to-replace-safaris-rss-reader-in-mount ain-lion/

Do you have iWeb '09? Maybe this will help if you do: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5226

I just came across this link and am very happy to find it! http://www.macgasm.net/2012/07/30/tip-find-your-deleted-rss-feeds-in-mountain-li ons-mail-app/ It provides the code so you can at least get your list of feeds back if you used Mail for your RSS feed reader.

My question now is; what should I use instead of Mail as my feed reader? I don't know what programs actually do this.

Thanks - I've already checked that out after a web search but Terminal always comes up with a failure on the command when pasted in - it says no such file exists. I've even tried several variations, just in case, but still no result. Thanks anyway.

Go to ~/Library/Mail/V2/RSS/ and they should be there to pick up.

That was suggested back in November when this thread was still active and Paul said that it didn't work for him.
