Xanga returns valid RSS

NOTE: As of October 26th, Xanga has finally corrected their RSS feeds! Therefore, those of you who were using my Xanga RSS Fixer port of Josh Staiger’s script will now receive XML errors since it no longer works for Xanga’s new RSS. There is no practical use for this script anymore. To access Xanga RSS feeds use this format:
http://www.xanga.com/rss.aspx?user=INSERTUSERNAMEHERE
and send this url to your favorite RSS feed reader. Thanks for using Xanga RSS Fixer!

    I think this is why my RSS on Thunderbird claimed that Ricky, Ashley, and another friend suddenly had like 20 new updates.

    Ah, yesh, that’s strange. But you do know that Ricky has a new blog, right? I didn’t know until about last week.

    actually, the xanga feed still doesn’t validate at feedvalidator.org. I changed your script to only fix the tag and nothing else.

    $this->xangaRSSFeed = str_replace(”, ‘en’, $this->xangaRSSFeed);

    oops… my comment has tags stripped… I just changed the language tag to have an actual parameter like ‘en’.

    Hey Kevin, thanks for your tip. I’ll update the script when I get a chance.
