How do I link my LiveJournal blog to my Yahoo 360 blog?

I dont want to make 2 entries every time.

How do I link my LiveJournal blog to my Yahoo 360 blog?
See if you can use an RSS feed which will show on your 360 Top Page (instructions below) or your LiveJournal page (instructions at http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbr... and http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbr...


- Go to any the site that you want to get the feed from. Click on the "RSS or XML" link or orange RSS button. A RSS file will come up on the next page. (The page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!). If the XML page doesn't come up, click on an option in the RSS pulldown menu at the top, but don't follow through with it. Go back out and try clicking on the RSS link again.


-To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, click on the "XML" button and use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser.


- Click the "Add a Feed (via RSS)" in your Feeds module on your "My Page" in 360. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the "Add a feed" space in that page. When you're done, click the "Save" button below.





NOTE: Please note that feeds are updated on a schedule, so it may take a few hours before your feeds appear on Yahoo!.


Also, try to visit your feeds more often and make sure that the URL or XML addresses are updated for the feed. If there is an XML address available, try that one instead of the URL (this last tip courtesy of Star-dust, I believe).





The general help page has instructions -

Then, the Yahoo team's blog has a post on the subject at -

Good luck!
