When I first set this screen saver up, there was a wide variety of RSS feeds visible in the setup menu. Now there is only 1--the one that's currently activated. "Wtf?"

The feeds come from the RSS in Safari. If you remove RSS feeds from there, the screensaver will no longer read them.

I knew it ran through Safari, but I can't consciously remember removing the feeds. I don't see anything in the preferences that would relate to a list of individual feeds. Can I add them back?

Well, they're all still there; I couldn't see myself arbitrarily deleting those.

Don't bump two days in a row. It takes several days for a thread to fall off the first page. If anyone knows, they'll answer. If nobody knows, bumping won't change that.

Well thanks Eccentric Admin Tooki. I appreciate the clarification. If your breadth of experience over 12,000 posts can't provide me with an answer, I might as well resign the question altogether. Apparently my RSS feeds are inexplicably and permanently vanished.

Try adding some RSS feeds to your Safari bookmarks and see if they show up.
