Xanga RSS feeds can be accessed by replacing home.aspx in the URL with rss.aspx, like so:

http://xanga.com/rss.aspx?user=USERNAME

I hadn’t heard of Xanga till it came to light that my girlfriend and seemingly all her friends from her college were using it. Now, my gripes with Xanga are copious, but I’ve been spoiled by being able to tweak literally everything about my own webserver for a number of years. However, one of the main strikes I’ve had against Xanga is that there were no RSS feeds. No RSS feeds? This is a “blog community” with no RSS feeds?

Apparently, this is not the case, but it’s not in their FAQ, not in their user helps, not anywhere on their sites. I was walking back from class today, formulating a nice, pointed letter to the webmaster about how 1999 called and wanted to help ever-so-gently nudge Xanga into the next, you know, millennium. But Google turned up some results, and the indignation is at least temporarily abated.
