Syndication

[telophase]

I've just set up syndication for my Vox journal over here, because I like being able to post text messages from my cellphone. I don't actually see doing that a significant amount of time, but if I'm away from a computer and OMG SUFFERING LJ WITHDRAWAL, I can at least do that.

So if you want to read my (most likely few) text-message posts and whatever I choose to post over there, just friend telophase_vox. Any comments you post on the LJ feed won't send any notifications to me, as far as I know, so be warned. Vox users can comment on Vox but not the public as far as I can tell. If you feel the need to comment on anything and want me to get it, feel free to go to telophase and leave it on whatever post there.

If you're a paid LJ user (or have a friend who's a paid LJ user) and want to syndicate your Vox feed so people can read it over here, find the RSS or Atom feed - it's on the very bottom of the page in the right-hand column on my Vox layout and titled "Subscribe to a feed of these posts". Take the URL it goes to, which will look something like http://telophase.vox.com/library/posts/atom.xml, and then go to this page. Scroll down to the bottom and put the Vox feed URL in there. It will then ask you for a name for the feed. I used telophase_vox, obviously, because it's easy to see who and what it is. Ta-da, you're done. The Vox entries may not show up for a few hours - LJ scrapes feeds periodically, not constantly - but they should eventually show up.

You can make text-messages to your Livejournal also, FYI. I've done it often.

If your cellular or mobile phone sends text messages from an email address, you can add that email address to your list of sender addresses and then post via text message email.

My phone doesn't seem to send from an email address, or at least I have no idea how to figure it out. :D Vox doesn't have that requirement - I just email a particular address from it and it posts.

(And I just double-checked by sending a text to the LJ email address I email-post from, and it hasn't appeared.)

Can you send LJ to Vox?

Not that I know of at the moment. I havne't poked around there enough, but a search in their Knowledge Base for 'RSS' only brought up the Vox RSS feed info. If they've got a feature request page, might be worth dropping a request there for feed support.

That's a cool feature. For all that my phone only texts 160 characters at a time, it would still be more useful than voice post *shudder*.

Still. Vox. ...
