Putting your code where your mouth is
Since I’m away from work (Ill, but in a “Don’t go too far from the bathroom” way, rather than a “Don’t get out of bed” way) I’ve ended up coding the “Subscribe Me” thing I was talking about this morning.
Including LiveJournal, Radio Userland and Bloglines support, I bring you SubscribeMe
(Try this link for a working example)
Now, if all those famous people who will never ever read this could see it.

It works!
As I was also signed into Bloglines, it took me straight into my “subscribe to this” dialog. Neat. Although ironically the newly subbed feed didn’t include this post…
Also, I have a question about the LJ feed – how does it which LJ feed it is?
Aquarion:
It scans the feeds for the first URL to match the URL you asked for, and returns the right LJ. Since LJ doesn’t let you have two LJs with the same URL, that should work.
Senji:
Now that is just cool.
gilmae:
Brilliant. Now you just need a corny icon, and you’re well on your way to grumpily claiming to be the Father of Auto-Subscriptions.
Murky:
Corny icon supplied.

Aq,
A little note re: the link.
Some folks may wish to know that to avoid the errors associated with &rss2 etc, one can use &rss2 instead.
This resolves to the correct url, but allows the page to validate.
