One of the things that WordPress really does well in my opinion is generate feeds out of the box for posts, and even feeds for post categories are fairly easy to pull together, but today I was needing to put together an RSS feed from post tags. For those of you that might be unfamiliar […]
Excluding Category from Feed (WP)
I know that there are probably some plugins out there that will accomplish this same exact thing but if you are looking for a way to exclude a category on the fly with a wordpress website, this method will work. Just locate the category ID# and append it to your feed in Feedburner like so… […]
Feedburner Socialize Service (Push RSS to Twitter)
Lately I have had a lot of frustrations regarding Feedburner regarding the way they randomly drop my subscription counts. On any given day my subscription counts can drop from somewhere in the 900’s to the 300’s for no apparent reason.

Twitter + RSS + MODx
My business partner Stephen and I have been encouraging our other partner Greg to branch out and try some of the popular social networking tools that are out there today like Twitter and he has offered up tons of resistance, it’s been almost comical. I knew that we almost had him teetering on the edge […]
