    RSS vs Atom (Getting a Blogspot feed into MySpace)

    So I read through this blog post [ http://developer.myspace.com/Community/blogs/devteam/archive/2008/02/05/example-app-rss-reader.aspx ] on passing an RSS feed into a MySpace surface (in my case the User Homepage). The feed I want is feed://agakhanfilm.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

    Replacing the URL in the blog post with the feed above outputs a blank div - no content, no error message.

    I've created a feedburner [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/AgaKhanFilm/ ] feed for it, but unfortunately linking to that outputs the error message "no data returned--check your RSS url!" as specified in the JS, but still no actual feed.

    Putting http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch produces a proper result.
    Any suggestions?

     Hey Matt, save yourself a lot of time and take a look at Google's gData API for Blogger.

    http://code.google.com/apis/blogger/

     If you're programming in PHP like me, you'll notice that Zend offers a PHP library to access all the gData API's really easily. Unfortunately, this requires you have the ability to edit php.ini to use. I don't have that option (for my youtube app), so I actually just used Magpie RSS to parse the ATOM feed (returns all $items). Fortunately for you... the Blogger feed looks like is structured infinately better than the youtube one...

     If you have any questions keep posting...
