Separate ‘Page’ RSS Feed
-
Is there any way for someone to subscribe to an RSS feed of a page that is not the homepage? The feed for my ‘home’ page is fine, but I have another page totally unrelated to ‘home’ and would like to offer a feed for that specific page.
Thanks

Not as far as I know. Pages by definition are designed to be static, not updated, and thus there’s no RSS feed specifically for them.

The reason you notice an RSS feed for your “home” page is merely because your “home” page displays posts. RSS feeds are for posts, not pages, as Raincoaster so correctly stated.
However, you can place a number of posts in a specific category and obtain that category archive’s feed. So, for instance, if you had a category called “Life,” you could obtain its feed here –
http://yourBlogNameGoesHere.wordpress.com/category/life/feed
Thus, your category archives act as pages that display posts attached to particular categories; these are the feeds for those “pages”.

The “other page” will be posts, a sort of second/unrelated blog.
In your example URL, I would use the word ‘catagory’ just as you’ve done? Assuming yes, could I then place a small pic in my sidebar (which shows on all pages) and somehow embed this new link into it so that people could just click on the pic to subscribe to the feed for this newly created catagory?
Hope that made sense :-) I would like readers of this new page/blog to be able to click on something to subscribe.

Absolutely! First, you can obtain some nifty RSS icons and adequate instructions from here.
And yes, you would use the word “category” just as I did. For instance, I notice that you have a “baking” category on your blog. That category’s feed will be located here –

I’ve had a look at the link and will go from there.
Thanks for your help and quick reply!
