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.

hAtom2RSS is a script that takes the URL to an XOXO Blog Format or hAtom blog and generates an RSS 2.0 feed for posts. The script supports all XOXO Blog Format extensions to hAtom. It also generates comments, wfw:commentFeed, and slash:comments tags when the appropriate data is available in the page.

You can convert your XOXO blogrolls to reading lists, in either XOXO or OPML format, for use in feedreaders. Reading lists can also be easily converted into XOXO blogrolls. The steps to do either are below:

Blogroll to Reading List

1. Go to the Outline Converter
2. Select the appropriate reading list format from the ‘Output Format’ dropdown box
3. Enter the classes that are on your blogrolls, space-separated (ie ‘xoxo blogroll’)
4. Check the ‘Simplify’ and ‘Ensure HTML and XML URLs’ checkboxes
5. Enter the URL to your blog
6. Click ‘Convert’

Reading List to Blogroll

1. Go to the Outline Converter
2. Select ‘XOXO’ from the ‘Output Format’ dropdown box
3. If converting from an XOXO reading list, enter the classes on the list data into the ‘classes’ box, otherwise enter ‘xoxo blogroll’
4. Check the ‘Simplify’ and ‘Ensure HTML and XML URLs’ checkboxes
5. Enter the URL to the reading list or cut-and-paste in the reading list data

Note that the Outline Converter outputs the application/xml header for either OPML or XOXO data. XOXO data will thus not render directly in your browser as XHTML, but it is still valid data.
