Using a Feed Reader to Grab Private Posts

Some users have emailed me asking how to use a feed reader [Bloglines, NetNewsWire, FeedDemon, etc.] to aggregate posts made here on The Osenga Project and get the private posts. As you’d expect, the members-only stuff does require you to authenticate yourself.

All modern feed readers should support HTTP 401 authentication; please see the help files for your reader as appropriate. The URLs needed to grab entries and comments are in the footer of every page. Just use your user and password that you’d use to view members-only posts to authenticate.

If none of this means anything to you [i.e., you're staring at the computer aimlessly], well, feel free to ignore my babblings as you normally would. ;)
