iOS blog reader question

Working through the iOS blog reader project and I was wondering how to make it work with my own blog.

How do you make this JSON API work with my blog? Or where would I go to find out how to do it?

Hi James,

Good question! There are some WordPress plugins that allow for this (assuming it's running WordPress), like Feed JSON. It would be a fun challenge to look at the response it gives you, and model a new Blog Reader app after that data, to flex your coding muscles a bit.

I have a WordPress.com site rather than a WordPress.org site. From my understanding, this means I can't install the plugin.

How can I get my blog data in json format or other format?
