Crossposting WordPress posts to MySpace

JISHOU, HUNAN — Before I upgraded WordPress and trashed my MySpace layout overlay, I had a WP plugin that automatically inserted my posts into my MySpace page.

That plugin, MySpace Crossposter, doesn’t work anymore. The new code in WP 2.6 effectively killed it, and its developer (it seems) is not maintaining the plugin anymore.

What to do?

I rarely visit MySpace. I’m more a Facebook man. But I would like to advertise this blog on MySpace to get more readers, so I needed a replacement for the outmoded plugin. The solution is easy.

Use a widget to grab your WP blog’s (or any) RSS feed and insert it into your MySpace profile. I found a nice little news feed widget at SpringWidgets. Enter your blog’s RSS feed URL, customize the look of the widget, then copy and paste the code into your MySpace profile. No plugin woes!

Here’s what it looks like.

Buddy, can you spare a dime?
