  Seconded on the separate RSS feed for commuter profiles!

  Also, Alan, are you wearing _socks_ with your sandals? ;)

  Hi,

  I can create a filtered feed that only includes the Commuter Profiles, but to do so requires that the Commuter Profiles category also be a part of the main site feed. I received complaints that the Commuter Profiles were clogging people’s readers, so I took them out of the main flow of the site. Unfortunately, it’s one or the other – no Commuter Profile feed at all, or a Profile feed that is also included as part of the main feed.

  PS – Yup, those are socks with sandals; I gave up on being a chic cyclist long ago… :-)

  that’s sad that you can’t enable the separate RSS without cluttering the main feed. you are using WordPress right? 99% sure WordPress can do that (I know Drupal can); sad that WordPress like Drupal is so unfriendly that even you, Alan, a power user, can’t make a separate RSS feed work properly

  Hi Roland,

  I haven’t been able to figure out how to do it in WordPress. A separate category-specific feed is easy; it’s eliminating the category from the main feed while still having the entries show up the the category-specific feed that’s the challenge. In other words, it appears as if category feeds are subsets of the main site feed in WordPress. If you happen to run across a method, please drop me a note.

  Regards,
  Alan

  Hi Alan:

  My friend Catherine Winters who is a WordPress consultant thinks the following might help:
