How to make a RSS feed out of your my.secondlife.com page

Actually, I'm using a lot My.SecondLife.Com . It's a social network built in Second Life you are signed in when you join Second Life. It's built in the web profiles, and shows up first, under the "Feed" tab.

Actually, I find it pretty much useful because it allows me to quickly post some quick snapshot I make, or links to blog posts or marketplace items. What it really misses, in my opinion, is a RSS feed feature, to make it a part of other Social Networks.
 

  

Actually, a way is viable, through the service http://feed43.com/ which is offered through a website that allows you to make a RSS compliant feed out of any web page. This service allowed me to repost My.SecondLife.com posts to my Twitter and Tumblr account automatically, through Twitterfeed or Ifttt services. Here's the step by step procedure on how to do so.

First, head to http://feed43.com/ .

This website allows you to create your feeds even without an account, but it is adviseable to recover your feed later and be able to modify them.

Locate and clickthe link Create your own feed.

Insert the link to your My.SecondLife page, and hit [Reload] button.

 

With some luck, you'll see some additional fields appear, and the html appear in one of them.

Scroll down, and locate a field named "Item (repeatable) Search Pattern". Copy and paste the following HTML code inside it, and hit [Extract]:

shared a <a href="{%}">snapshot</a>{*}class="thumbnail large" src="{%}" /><span class='zoom'>{*}<span class='caption'><p>{%}</p>
(copy and paste the text as a single line, no line feeds in between)

With some more luck, you should get an "» OK (18 items found)" green message, and a list of string should fill a big textbox which should have appeared below. Scroll Down and give your feed a title and a description (they're mandatory fields):

Scroll down and ocate the "RSS item properties" section.

Now, some more techie things, fill the fields using the following text:
Item Title Template: {%3}
Item Link Template: {%1}
Item Content Template:
]]<!---->><img src="{%2}" />#secondlife #machinima #sl<![CDATA[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sub>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; 
(Copy and paste as a single block)

The code is to allow the image to be included in the feed in the correct way. Now hit [Preview] and your Feed will appear below.
As a final step, you'll get the link to your feed. an additional link is given to allow you to modify it in a second time.

 Additional features give you the chance to rename your feed to something easier to remember, and make it private to block people from using it.

Now you can use this link to embed your SL feed on any blog, on blog rolls, or feed it to your twitter and tumblr feed, through services like ifttt.com and twitterfeed.

Oh I nearly forgot: this trick will export only feed posts holding a snapshot and will ignore text only posts. In case someone should be interested, I'll work to a more comprehensive version.
