Dealing with clash between XAE and other lisp 'plug ins'

Dear All,
I've been building a new Linux box at home, and going
through my customary building of Emacs customisations.

Everything has gone well, I've got Wiki, Blogging and
a host of other functions working well. However I hit
a problem when I install XAE.

I've added:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"XAE_ROOT/lisp"))
(require 'xae)

to my .emacs file, with the loadpath set correctly for
the XAE. XAE works correctly, and I'm able to use it
correctly. However, when I have XAE installed I can't
use my Blogging software (blogmax.el).

What I'd like to do is have XAE only load when I
choose to edit an XML file (which isn't that often at
home, but much more frequently at work). 

I've looked at adding a conditional to the file-load
hook, but I can't seem to get it to work. I could,
considering how infrequently its likely to be an issue
just set up an alternate version of the .emacs file
and swap them as appropriate. But I think that the
above would be a more 'elegant' solution.

Any guidance much appreciated.

regards

Richard
