syndicated feed of DW account on LJ, help?

[kristalyn]

This is probably not exactly what this community is meant for.

I would like to set up a syndicated feed of my DW account on LJ, but apparently creating feeds requires having a paid account these days. Unfortunately no one I know has one. If anyone here has a paid account on LJ, would they be willing to do this for me? As far as I know, it won't have any negative consequences; you can create as many feeds as you want. If all else fails, I'll pay the $5 for two months of paid time, but I'd rather not give them any more of my money.

Oh god, you are right. *smaks self* I only checked in a feedreader and forgot that LJ doesn't work exactly like that.

Maybe this is something that DW will also work on in the future? I do seem to remember they're at least going to implement something that will allow you to read flocked entries from your friends on LJ on your DW reading page.

yes; that is in fact being worked on.

but that won't necessarily help people who stay on LJ, since LJ has so far showed no interest in ever taking somebody else's code and incorporating it (which, in this case, would be a major undertaking because of the access/subscribe split).

Okay, I misunderstood how one makes a feed. How do I turn my DW into a feed that my friends can see on their f-list?

And maybe I'm misunderstanding some more but if I understand this right, if I set up the DW feed, people on my flist can see my new public entries, and if they click to see those, and want to comment, they can user their DW open id, at which point they can see any access only stuff, am I correct?

To make a feed, enter this url at the bottom of this page.

Yes, I think that's right.
