Post-Cohost life-hack

If you're on Dreamwidth (which you probably are if you're reading this, you can add RSS/Atom feeds to your reading page by going to the feed page and copying the feed URL into the box.

One caveat, if nobody else has done it yet, you'll have to create and name a proxy account for the feed, which will then potentially be discoverable by any DW user. I've thus far been hesitant to add any feed that wasn't already public enough to have at least one subscriber before I searched for it.

Maybe... maybe seek the feed owner's permission before creating accounts for their feeds on here.

Good posting to everyone!

Ah, good point on the "being made public somewhere they don't have control over". I had not fully registered the implications before I began adding things to my feed page. I imagine that's not an action that can be undone...
