Xanga RSS Feeds

Oct 17, 2004 16:30

Have you ever heard of Xanga? It is another blogging / community system, like LiveJournal. In my opinion, it is worse than LJ, and I don't like how it is closed-source, but that's not important right now.

I have made a script that will let you get an RSS feed of a Xanga account. What this means is that you can now:

Syndicate a Xanga feed on ( Read more... )

I found this post through Google. Just wanted to let you know that Xanga now apparently has their own RSS feeds.

Much more offical.

No, those are broken.

Those will work in very few feedreaders, since they don't validate (you can check--there are free validaters online). Most notably, they won't work in Sage or Live Bookmarks, two really cool features of Firefox, which is where I wanted them to work.

So, if the official RSS feeds work for you, then that's great, but for many people they don't. That's what this script is for.

Actually, if you take a look at the script you'll notice that it is pulling Xanga's RSS feeds, and then messing with them until they are how they're supposed to be :)
