MySpace and This Space

NP: Bruford, One Of A Kind

I'm not going to go on my rant about MySpace, because it would seem vaguely hypocritical, seeing as how I have something like six different profiles for me or bands both current and past. It's where the people are, so you sort of have to be there.

Anyway, they've got blog functionality, and besides the fact that it sucks -- or perhaps as part of the fact that it sucks -- it's lacking a key piece of functionality that competitor Friendster has, and that's the ability to publish an RSS feed to your profile. It's a key piece because I could effectively mirror this site over there without actually doing any work. Now given the blog configuration page and some other hacks I've seen for other tricks, I know there's got to be a workaround. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help me find that workaround. I have a hunch it would use the custom style sheet settings.

As it stands, I already have a low-tech cut-and-paste process to mirror this site on LiveJournal (despite there being Movable Type plugins I haven't quite figured out yet), and I'm not interested in taking that particular route. So far my searches haven't turned anything up.
