Customising RSS feeds – neat

Below we explain how you can customise our RSS feed to get a few categories, comments to one or more categories, instead of the complete feed (remember we usually have about 2 posts a week only).

When you look at your blog you must make sure that your users remain faifthful readers of your content.

In turn, because people have limited time, category-specific feeds are a real savior. So if you are interested in our blog but do not want to receive one post a week but, instead, only those that are of interest to you, I urge you to make a category type feed instead.

One category this post is assigned to is FT ComMetrics Blog Index which gives you the following link:

http://commetrics.drkpi.ch/?cat=2477

Important is the category number 284. Hence, the RSS feed delivering me posts that fall under this category only is:

http://commetrics.drkpi.ch/?feed=rss2&cat=284

If you want to subscribe to the comments you use http://commetrics.drkpi.ch/?feed=comments-rss2

If you want comments pertaining to posts that are archived under category 284 – FT ComMetrics Blog Index, you do as follows:

http://commetrics.drkpi.ch/?feed=comments-rss2&cat=284

So this helps you to customise your feed to suit your needs best. Happy reading and thanks for being a part of ComMetrics. If you prefer, you can get each post via e-mail instead:
