How do I offer/subscribe to category-wise RSS feed?
An RSS feed is the easiest syndication system for your blog which lets its subscribers know whenever a new post is published. The blog owner can choose whether the feed will show the entire post or an excerpt of it. Nowadays, each blog has its RSS feed. Most of the bloggers take advantage from feedburner to optimize and monetize their feeds.
Now the question is, what can you do if you want to provide different RSS feed for different categories? For example, imagine yours is a blog on multiple niche which covers posts on technology, movie, blogging, fashion, TV etc. Now, people coming to your blog might not want to subscribe to your RSS feed because they need posts on a specific category; not all of them. So, you’re losing an interested reader.
On the other hand, if you are the reader, how can you subscribe to the RSS of a specific category?
Find out the RSS URL
First of all, find out what the permalink of the relevant category is. For example, the permalink of the category “Technology” in this blog is http://www.aisajib.com/category/technology. Now, if you want to subscribe to the RSS of this category, just put a slash ‘/’ after it and add the word ‘feed’. The URL will be like this http://www.aisajib.com/category/technology/feed Hit Enter. You will get the RSS of this category. If you subscribe, you will get the latest posts published under this category only.
Tell Everyone
If you are a reader, this will help you subscribe to the feed of a category you are interested in. And if you are a blogger, let your audience know that this way they can subscribe to any category they want.
Just a note: The option is for wordpress-powered blogs only.

Start a blog right away! Already have one? Then make it popular!
If blogging and making money with it has been a long cherished dream of you, and if you believe you have time, patience and a topic of interest to blog about, it's time to kick off your first blog with a perfect domain and reliable hosting. If you already have a blog, make sure you have an outstanding premium theme if you run WordPress. Only content may not bring success; creativity and design matter a lot.
If you're looking for a theme with top quality design and custom options that take no time to change your blog into whatever you like, the best would be WooThemes. If your budget is low, try ThemeForest for great quality WordPress themes at an affordable rate.
On the other hand, if you are more focused and serious in blogging, you should go with some framework. Highly suggested framework is Genesis which is recommended by top class bloggers including Chris Brogan. Headway is another alternative at an affordable price. If you have time to spend for blog development and willing to make it extremely customized, Thesis by DIY themes is also in the list.

@Jinnat Ul Hasan, my opinion is also same with you. And i think it is not good job for users, because RSS feeds most of the time are painful like as spam.

@Lasik Reviews, Thanks for your comment. I also agree with Jinnat bhai, but I couldn’t agree with what you’ve said. RSS feeds are never like spams. If you subscribe to too many RSS feeds for Email updates, that will annoy you for sure. You can take advantage of Google Reader to subscribe to as many RSS feeds as you want. Mozilla Firefox also supports RSS subscription. None of them are annoying. You are advised to subscribe for Email updates to those RSS feeds only which are most important for you.
Hey! Bro. would you pls tell me how can i choose my desired lines during sending my post to the email subscribers? Lets me clear it. I have some email subscribers.
