Recently got a few friends who are blogging on Xanga and Blogspot. As
someone who likes to read blog yet lazy to visit them one by one, I
usually just subscribe to their RSS and wait for news to arrive at my
doorstep (or better know as Outlook). However, I cannot find any [XML]
or [RSS] icon in both the blog sites. I quick search in goggle reveals
2 ways which I can feed the blogs
Xanga:
there is a free service @
http://www.ephemeraleuphoria.com/xanga/rss.php?username=<username>
Simply change the <username> field to the username of the blog you wish to feed from Xanga
Blogspot:
Blogspot default feed through atom, which the RSS aggregator I using (
you subscribe) do not support.
Therefore I used this free service from 2rss to convert the feeds to atom before subscibing to them

Lastly, there are some who simply dun support RSS feeds. I therefore use
watchthatpage instead, which is recommended by
