Toes to the Edge

This is a frequently asked question on the WordPress site. The answer is there if you have nice URLs enabled. If you do not, the answer is:

1. Mouse-over your category list and note the integer after the cat=? parameter of the URL
2. Append ‘&cat=?’ to your normal RSS feed URL

For example, the RSS feed for rowing posts only on this blog is:

http://powertwenty.com/kpd/blog/?feed=rss2&cat=2

Update 1/17/2007:
Using Weichung Yang’s Urlencoded Permalinks plugin this is even easier as the link becomes:

http://powertwenty.com/kpd/blog/index.php/category/rowing/feed/

The February meeting was last night. Xteric Technology Group hosted the meeting and provided pizza. Mike Pirnat and David Stanek gave a preview of their forthcoming PyCon presentation on the use of Python in an enterprise-wide, highly scalable, and redundant environment. Their talk will give good ammunition for those faced with the ‘python is too slow for enterprise usage’ argument. David then followed up with an eye-opening overview of the Kid Templating system. I had written off Kid due to its affinity for XML and my happiness with Cheetah, but the enthusiastic support of Kid at the meeting convinced me to take a look at it some day.
