  LJ Syndication: MySpace Character Blogs--

  Posted: July 27th, 2007, 4:53pm EDT by 01-18-08

  Since a handful of 01-18-08 characters now have MySpace blogs, and because I'm not a big fan of MS and I am all about getting the content served to my own Flist instead of having to navigate through graphics and video heavy sites, I've set up LJ-based feeds that will pull new blog posts from each of the characters' sites to LJ itself--

  --These feeds have begun updating themselves and have pulled all posts already made to the characters' blogs, so you can read the old entries via the feeds (go directly to them) starting now. All new posts will appear on your Flist (as the feeds update) after you Friend them.
  
  ETA: It seems that the MS RSS system is set up to give you the title and first paragraph of each entry, so in order to read any one full entry, you simply click on the URL at the top of the individual post, and it will take you to the originating post over on MS.
  
  If you become aware of any other character blogs, do let me know, and I'll see about setting those up to feed as well. In the meantime, enjoy!
  
  For anyone not familiar with LJ-based syndication, it acts in the same manner as any other RSS reader, pulling new posts from the syndicated site to display them on your Friends List. You can add the above feeds as you would any other journal and get periodic updates direct to the Flist, no muss, no fuss, no bother. You should be aware that syndicated feeds do not have moderators, nor do they belong to anyone once they are created, so it isn't "my" feed in any sense other than I plugged in the details to set it up; after that, all concerns/problems with it must be directed to LJ Support. [LJ Syndication FAQ]
  
  Additionally, you'll have to click through to the originating blog posts when they appear to read/make any comments to the blogs themselves. You can comment on LJ feeds, but nobody but other LJ readers will see it.
  
  I do not have the feed URLs (or even know if there are any) for the official 01-18-08 site or Slusho!, so currently they are not set up to pull to LJ. Regardless, I hope the feeds we do have are useful, as at the very least, they eliminate the need to constantly check MySpace for updates. ^_~
