Hidden feeds: categories, tags, authors, search terms, links
WordPress generates a number of other feeds in addition to those for posts and comments. There’s a feed for each of your categories and tags. You can also get feeds of posts written by an individual author. You can even get feeds for search results!
Since WordPress doesn’t advertise these hidden feeds, you’ll have to do a little URL manipulation to find them. Of course, once you’ve located them, you can place the links somewhere in your theme so your visitors can find them too.
Since RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 are the most popular formats, I’ve given those as the examples for the hidden feeds. However, all four formats are available for all the feeds listed below (except Links). If you want RSS 0.92 or RDF feeds, just replace the appropriate acronyms in the URLs.
Are there any more that I’ve overlooked? Let me know!

- Did I say the theme chapter would be 50 pages long? Yeah, about that... 49 with four sections to go, and maybe more code examples. EEK. #

Web Standards for E-books — Joe Clark is always worth reading, but in this article he’s tackling the intersection of my two professions. Excellent stuff.
#They get points off for staring the article with, “Since ancient times,” but if you need to hand someone an intro reading list for urban fantasy, you could do a lot worse than Library Journal’s list. My other quibble? I would have starred Bitten.
#Amazon and the price of silence — a mini-case study in PR.
#Notes from New Sodom: The Kerspindle Kerfuffle — “For those of you who don’t know, the tiny autonomous archipelago of Åthorland lies off the coast of this fair nation of Art. Just a spattering of craggy islands, it is, each with little more than a stony croft inhabited by a wild-eyed Åthor, with only their herd of kittens for company and inspiration.”
