An RSS feed for Dreamwidth (of sorts)
I like having all my Internet reading in one place – if I have to check lots of locations, I get stuck looping between them and find it more difficult to do something else. I’m also trying to be better about reading Dreamwidth entries from my friends.
So I wrote a script that grabs my Dreamwidth reading page, and creates an RSS feed from it. Post titles, authors and tags are pushed to a private RSS feed on my web host, and then I can see posts in my RSS reader. If I want to read the post, I click through to the main site – so the content of locked posts is still protected by Dreamwidth logins.
If you’re interested, code here: https://github.com/alexwlchan/junkdrawer/tree/master/dreamwidth_rss
[If there’s a more “official” way to do this, it’s hidden very well.]
