Smashing Magazine is one my favorite resource to keep myself abreast of the latest techniques that are being used in the arena of web development. I would recommend it to anyone who is involved in the process of web development. The older posts are also worth going through.
Recently I came across a post on Smashing Magazine about tricks you can do with RSS feeds specially if you are using WordPress. A client was using WordPress as a CMS for their website and wanted to turn off RSS feeds option for his site. On this post I found the solution and thought I would share it with others for their benefit. The tricks and tips that have been addressed as
- Schedule (or delay) inclusion of new posts to RSS feeds
- Integrate Feedburner with your WordPress blog
- Insert customized content (including advertisments) into the RSS feeds
- How to optimize images in content for RSS feeds
- Make following comment discussion easier for commentors by providing separate RSS feeds for comments on each post (this is a built in feature for WordPress!)
- Exclude certain categories from the RSS feed
- Add RSS feeds to a website or a blog running on WordPress
- Provide separate RSS feeds for each category in WordPress
- Disable RSS feeds of your website
I'm sure if you use WordPress some of these tips are helpful.
