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.
