  Is there a way to get an RSS feed from a WordPress.com blog for just a single category? I’ve been asked, but I can’t figure out how.

  I tried this with Google Reader and it says it cannot find a feed. I got someone else to try it, same result. Is there a way to get a feed to Google Reader of a single category?

  You don’t know what format Google Reader tried to pull it, do you? Something in the back of my mind says atom which would then make it:

  I believe.

  What about on self hosted wordpress, I have the following setup:

  When I add the /feed/ on the end, it just opens the archive page for the category. Any ideas?

  @ simnor

  I’m sorry but we only offer support for wordpress.com bloggers working on the wp-Mu wordpress.com hosted blogging platform. Your software is different and your forum is over here http://wordpress.org/support so please post your question over there.
