galaxy.osnews.com

my blog is now being syndicated at galaxy.osnews.com as well as at planetkde.org. unlike pk.o, however, g.o.c doesn't support atom xml feeds, which is what the blog engine i use spits out. fair enough.

a quick search on google and i found some xlst by a fellow named Mark Gardner. pair that up with wget and xlstproc, stuff it into a cron job on my webserver and i now have an rss feed of my blog. huzzah!
yet another group of readers to inflict my inability to use the shift key upon ;)

blogger already has feeds

Aaron J. Seigo said...

yes, Atom feeds. those are a different format than RSS. fortunately both are XML and XLST facilitates switching between them quite handily.

if i could figure out how to coax blogger to use RSS instead of Atom that'd be nice. but this works for now =)

er, XSLT. i need to sign up for a remedial typing class, i swear ;)
