Defending Your Blogspace
More new blogging softwares promise to keep your publishing needs healthy. And anyway I got this idea from away after his successful crossposting from his WP blog to Xanga and it made me think about those possibilities. I suppose I could duplicate my typing but a quick search led me to GRX's very own ryu52's Xanga blog mirror script.
My only concern is that the freakin' RSS feeds. I usually post in the past in Moveabletype in order NOT update the feeds to get the proper "content/design" look-and-feel.
Of course someone else suggested "why folks just don't join xanga." I actually like Xanga's GRX community. It's nice too to get those nice eProps. But in defending MT I guess at the moment I have some time on my hand to play around with the design, come up with categories as well as multiple sites (community and journal) AND snoop around for gee-whiz plugins. (Those darn tagclouds on these flickr, technorati, del.icio.us sites are well delicious looking albeit it may not make my blogging site any better or simpler to use.)
Having say that lets see if this works. Otherwise grrr...
EPROPS FOR YOU!
embrace RSS! It makes your blog more accessible and while some of the formatting is gone in the feed, usually they need to click to your site to get the full content anyways.
WUBOY: Oh Haerrroooo! So is eProps like comments? I'm a dork!
CLIEU: Uh huh...it makes sense. uh huh...*blanking out*...Actually I know from playing with RSS feeds what you meant but why more accessible?
I just meant I want to read your blog and you have an RSS feed, I don't need to check your site every day (today, when work is truly uninspiring). Your updates will automatically get pushed to my RSS aggregator service (I use bloglines). So if you want more people to read your site (esp non-xanga users), RSS is one way to acheive that...
Next time I post something this nerdy, I'm totally going to say that I'm Sandy :)
uh huh...yah...I'm totally lost in this geek speak. =)
RSS is the way to go... I usually use my own blog client to read via RSS. live.com formats them pretty nicely too.
FYI: Xanga supports rss, its just hidden.

So if you get your xanga cross post thing working, then I'll have an RSS feed from you =)
