It seems that another feedreading project is recognising XOXO! According to this post Plagger has, if I understand correctly, added the ability to import subscriptions from an XOXO reading list and also to export that as OPML. Not recognising XOXO enough to provide an export mechanism for it yet, but a step forward nevertheless!

For templates for the new Blogger see the updated post.

Due to some of the feedback I've been getting from hack implementors recently I have decided to roll out my own set of templates for Blogger, implementing various and sundry features that different persons have expressed interest in. These templates are all loosely based on the Blogger Minima concept, with some inspiration from my blog also. They have been written from scratch, however, and all have the following features:

• Conformance to hAtom and the XOXO Blog Format
• XHTML validity as much as is possible with Blogger
• Support for comment feeds both on the whole blog and individual posts
• hCard markup on the profile section of the sidebar
• 'Standard' comment markup
• XOXO Blogroll Format blogrolls
• Backlink counts

So, if you're looking for a new template, or just want some of these features or some of those that follow, this is for you.

• Basic Template - Peek-a-boo comments and backlinks
• No Peek-a-boo - Same as basic template, but without the peek-a-boo comments and backlinks
• With Comment Form - Peek-a-boo comments and backlinks with my inline comment form
• Asynch Comment Form - Peek-a-boo comments and backlinks with my asynchronous comment form
• Comment Photos - Peek-a-boo comments and backlinks with inline comment photos and author highlighting

If anyone wants another version of this template created (ie, some combination of the hacks, or for another hack) feel free to contact me. If anyone has any ideas or feedback at all concerning the usefulness of / look of these templates, again, I have an open ear. I would ask that you keep your comments positive. 'This Sucks!' is not all that helpful to me, even if that's how you feel
Notes to advanced users: Hopefully these templates will also be useful to you in examining my code, etc. To remove peek-a-boo from comments or backlinks in any of the above templates, simply remove the onclick handler from the appropriate link. It should also be mentioned that these templates all support both versions of blogger comment permalinks. If you have any questions about the features on these templates I'm just an email/comment away!

Standard RSS is a tool which takes any RSS, ATOM, hAtom, or XOXO Blog Format feed and turns it into a standard RSS 2.0 core. More information is available on the tool's home page. There is also a YubNub command to go with it.
