How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed for Just Part of a Blog

by Carrie on May 25, 2010

Say you found a blog and you like some of their content but you don’t care for all of it. You only want to subscribe to what you’re most interested in.

In this example, we’ll use my Beauty & Fashion category but this trick also works for tags or search results.

First, navigate to the page that shows just the type of posts you want to subscribe to.

Then, in Firefox, click the little RSS icon in the address bar.

RSS for Just One Category

Select the option to subscribe to the category feed (third option down in the drop down menu shown here).

That option will give you the feed address for just that category and you can pop it into your feed reader. (Or maybe you have your Firefox preferences set up so that the button automatically links up to the feed reader of your choice. Go to Preferences > Applications and then the Web Feed option to set that.)

Share and Enjoy:
