How to Build a WordPress Feed on a Category

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Say you want to create a feed on each track of a category from your content management system (aka blog). (I’ll explain why in a separate Article.)

You have to do a few things to achieve this easily and successully.

1. You have to setup your Permalink structure ahead of time with a custom structure. This structure should include /%category%/

Example: here’s one I use

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%category%/%postname%/

In addition to setting up a feed option on categories its good for Google PR reasons as well, as you category becomes part of the file name.

Go to Wordpress, Select Options > Permalinks >create custom structure

You will also need to copy the code that will be generated and add it to your .htaccess file and upload it via ftp (just the once)

This is the hardest step, everything else is very easy!

2. Then in your blog simply type your url for your blog

ex. mydomain.com/wordpress/

Then in the address bar add the category name and then /feed/

ex. mydomain.com/wordpress/webtips/feed/

3. Now you have a feed! You can take that feed address and burn it into a specialty on Buzz Boost and then you can really do some fancy things outside of your blog!

Electromagnetic Interference-Playing Havoc with your gear?

Monday, March 26th, 2007

When I was in the Army we had to use DOD / NSA approved electronics that had been engineered with EMI Shielding capabilities for two reasons.

First, we didn’t want to have our electronic gear spied upon with technologies that can turn electromagnetic radioation coming from your machine back into real live data.

Second, we did not want to have the equipment zapped essentially with electromagnetic interference.

With a world that is suddenly going wireless there are more and more chances that electromagnetic interference will block your signals, but it doesn’t only refer to radio waves. Anything that uses electricity can emit an electromagnetic force.

This is why your hair dryer or microwave might interfere with your cordless phone or TV from time to time, it depends on the frequency essentially.

If you have important information stored on your computers or hard drives or backup drives or if you do not want your system to go down when your neighbor cranks up their microwave or when the office above you lights up their new Wireless system or cellular repeater, then you may need to take a look at the benefits of EMI shielding for your own systems.

Google Blog Search Ping

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

here’s a great tip that I covered on another blog that I wanted to be sure that I shared here as well.   You can ping Google’s Blog Search utility to help get indexed faster on your blog.  All you have to do is ping Google’s blog search tool with your URL or your feed.
