Subscribing to any single category

Posted at 08:15:43 pm by hari under Site management (221 views)

There's a neat little trick in b2evolution, which allows you to get RSS/Atom feeds for any category of posts on this blog.

If you wish to get updates only to a single category on Hari's Corner rather than the full feed, just do this:

  • Copy the URL of the category or click on the category link in the sidebar.
  • Add the text ?tempskin=_rss2 to the end of the URL.
  • Use that URL as the feed URL in your favourite RSS reader.

You can also use ?tempskin=_atom to get an Atom feed instead of RSS if you prefer that format.

So instead of getting updates for every single post I make on this blog, you will be alerted only if I've made a post to that particular category. Use that feature as you wish! :D

That's an awesome feature, and one I've never heard of before, thanks for the tip! Now I'd better start reorganizing my categories, they need a little cleanup :)

Using the ?tempskin=_rss2 you can create the RSS version of any post/category on b2evolution.
