Xanga => LiveJournal?

[randomness]

Say, does anyone know whether one Xanga will provide an RSS feed in a format that LiveJournal will understand and incorporate into one's friends list? (Or any other aggregator, actually, but in this particular case LJ.)

I am reading various documents which imply that Xanga's feed is malformed. Cursory examination of the output seems to bear this out; it sure doesn't look standard. There are folks who have written various scripts to correct formatting, etc, but has anyone reading this tried any of them? Has Xanga corrected its RSS output?

(I'm told Xanga's RSS feeds are of the form: http://www.xanga.com/rss.aspx?user=r_ness)

Comments (particularly from folks who have made this work) welcome. Thanks in advance!

I suggest looking at using feedburner.com (in particular its smartfeed, or something akin to that, feature, where it normalizes the feed) to front-end a xanga feed and then using that with livejournal.

I'll look at that.

Thanks!

Hm--if you find out about this, I'd be curious to know too...

Sure! If I can get this to work I'll definitely let you know.
