LiveJournal Tag RSS Syndication

NOTE: Unless you are using the notag option below, LiveJournal itself now supports this feature, so you don't have to use this. You can get a feed for multiple tags on a LiveJournal blog like:

http://avatraxiom.livejournal.com/data/atom?tag=tech,anime

For a long time, I've wanted to be able to have an RSS feed of just one tag on my LiveJournal.

LiveJournal couldn't do it, so I wrote my own script for it.

It's a web page that you can use to syndicate any tag on your LiveJournal. Here's an example URL for me, that syndicates both the "tech" tag and the "anime" tag on my LiveJournal:

http://max.kanat.us/tag-syndicate/?user=avatraxiom&tag=anime&tag=tech.

Basically, after the user= in the URL, you put your LiveJournal username. And then you just keep adding &tag=sometag to the end of the URL for each tag you want included. If you don't specify any tag, it will syndicate all your posts.

If you want to exclude a particular tag, just add &notag=sometag to the end of the URL, where sometag is the tag you want to exclude. If you just specify notag and don't specify tag, you'll get all posts except the ones with that notag. You can keep adding &notag=someothertag to the end of the URL to exclude more and more tags.

Have fun. If you have any questions, email me at tag-syndicate @ kanat %dot% us. (Just replace %dot% with a period, and remove all the spaces.)
