Only for a friend!

You must be logged in to see this page, but it's the RSS I used. See if you can reach it. Its logo is simple, a big RSS emblem, and it's called RSS Reader. (In case you need to fish it out of the other zillion apps. It's not done by MySpace.)

It's critical to check the default Google RSS first, before doing your own. When I simply entered my URL, I got the actual LJ site as my background to the feed, but a lot of error code typed across it. I had left the background box on MySpace as transparent -- and the style from LJ tried to come through.

For the feed itself, this worked:

Just substitute your handle.

So, I picked what I thought were readable text/background/link colors, for the time being, and got it up.

If it's driving you nuts, once you've installed it, do not go to "Settings". Go to "Visit app" right next to it. (The tiny links under RSS reader.) This gets you back to playing with URLs as your feed.

Hope this helps!
