Xanga RSS

:: Monday, July 31st, 2006 @ 5:18:09 pm

:: Tags:

For awhile now, I’ve been bitching about my friends who use Xanga because Xanga doesn’t by default publish links to RSS feeds — and I basically don’t read blogs without RSS feeds. I don’t know why it took me so long to find out the magic URL to get RSS from Xanga:

http://www.xanga.com/rss.aspx?user=username

Now it’s just the friends who update manually using HTML and friends on Blogger whom I shall continue bitching to. :)

UPDATE The Atom feed for BlogSpot users is:

    I still think, for example, Cindy needs to realize that it’s unseemly to be posting to Xanga.com.

    Rosa - I had totally forgotten about the atom feeds on blogspot. in fact, those folks are already in one of my feed readers.

    But Blogger’s Atom feed doesn’t validate, and NewsGator/FeedDemon won’t read it. Lame.

    OK. NewsGator and FeedDemon just properly sucked in big boy’s blog. So now I’m happy. :)
