You know what would be nice? If Livejournal had friends-only rss feeds. I can subscribe to a friend’s journal, but I can’t read the entries they’ve marked as friends-only unless I visit the LJ site. Which sort of defeats the purpose of subscribing through an aggregator.
Or am I missing something? Is there a way to subscribe to all the entries?
It can be done. You need to tell your aggregator to do http authentication before retrieving the feed, using your LJ credentials.
Then you get all the entries.
I recently switched over to Google Reader. It’s not perfect, but I was having some issues with my old aggregator, and I do like it. Unfortunately, it does not support authentication.
