The Microsoft C# Express Beta has a sample project of a .NET screensaver using an RSS Feed. Is it possible to get an RSS feed of private galleries from smugmug?

    It's not, mainly because we haven't figured out how we want to do distribution of RSS feeds.

    RSS feeds can quickly become something like a Denial-of-Service attack. Thousands of programs mindlessly hitting our servers over-and-over isn't something we take lightly, and we have quite a few friends in the blog space who are facing a big headache over it right now.

    It's on our roadmap, we're going to do it, but we're participating and watching some of the aggregation attempts to hopefully spread the work around a bit. We'll see how it plays out.
