RSS Feeds for only 1 category – how?

  • Hello,

    I’m new to Word Press and currently am working on a new site.

    What I would like to do is have visitors sign up to get RSS Feeds of just *one* of my main categories (which I’ll post to weekly).

    I know there are newsletter and mailing list type of WP plugins, but would rather they subscribe to my RSS feed of just that one category.

    Is there a plugin for this? If not, how may I do it?

    Thanks in advance,
    Laz

  • Built in. If you’re using pretty permalinks:

    http://yourdomain/blog/category/feed

    Otherwise:

    http://yourdomain/blog/category/?feed=rss2

    Thanks HandySolo!

    As to how people subscribe, I’ve seen on other WP blogs “subscribe” buttons (with all the graphics) but this to newbies like me, makes no sense.

    Is there a more familiar form box so that people can know that if they subscribe they will be notified of the latest news on my site?

    Example:
    __________________________
    Email Updates
    Subscribe to get
    sites updates!
    Email __________
    __________________________

    Thanks again in advance,
    Laz

    Those who subscribe are using an RSS Reader (aka feed reader) of some sort. That program takes care of checking your site for updates and notifying them if there are any. No email necessary.

    Some light reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_aggregator ??

    If you’re just dying to add to cluttered inboxes, have a look at what feedblitz.com offers. It’ll do the email aspect of things.
