RSS feeds for each category

    I’d like to create RSS feeds for each specific category. I know there was a way to do this prior to 1.2 but I can’t find any documentation on the Wiki for a way to do it now, or prospectively with 1.3.
    Anyone know of a plug in or hack or what not that I can use, a point in the right direction would be appreciated!
    thanks

    hrm..
    so for example… if I want a separate feed for the catagory “pictures” I’d put <?php wp_list_cats(‘feed=pictures’); ?> in the index.php file? and that would generate the feed?
    Sorry, I’m at the low end of the PHP learning curve…

    In future, remind me to read the link I’m pointing to. I thought it explained this better…
    No, not quite. If you ran wp_list_cats() as I have it above, as is, it list all categories, with a separate link to the feed next to each category. The text after feed= becomes the link text.
    To specify a single category, you can do it with wp_list_cats(), but you may be better off manually linking to it:
    /wp-feed.php?feed=FEEDTYPE&cat=CAT_ID
    FEEDTYPE is rss, rss2, atom, or rdf.
    CAT_ID is the numeric id for the category.
    If you use custom permalinks, then it should be something like:
    /category/pictures/feed/FEEDTYPE/

    <?php wp_list_cats(‘optionall=1&sort_column=name&optioncount=1&feed=RSS Feed&feed_image=/wordpress/images/rss_small.gif’); ?>

    Alrighty then… a bit clearer.
    Thanks and I’ll give it a try!
