You can easily create a custom RSS feed for any category on a Wordpress blog. (I tried it on other platforms but it only seems to work for Wordpress blogs)
Let’s say you only want updates for “marketing tips” from this blog– it’s as easy as 1,2,3:
- click the category to get the category URL
- add feed/ to the end of the URL
- add that category feed URL to your feedreader. Done.
Here’s an example. Click the category “Marketing Tips” from a post to get the category URL :
The category URL looks like this:
http://blog.sellsiusrealestate.com/category/marketing-tips/
Now add feed/ to the end of it, thus:
http://blog.sellsiusrealestate.com/category/marketing-tips/feed/
Bam! You now have the category feed URL for “marketing tips”.
Now, add the category feed URL to your feedreader (I use Bloglines):
Done. You just subscribed to “marketing tips” updates from Sellsius. (Thanks)

I did this on my Denver Modern Homes blog for all of the for sale listing posts. Then I took the feed, and placed in in one of those RSS sidebar widgets that WordPress provides. This way the most current ten listings appear in on my sidebar.
At first, the widget would not except the feed. I’m not sure why. But then I reburned the feed through feedbuner.com, and it works great.
Sellsius you are Sweet!
