And make sure to let us know when you have scheduled an event you want everyone in West Seattle to know about – editor@westseattleblog.com – thanks!

Any chance you could do an RSS feed for the “Announced” page? When I try to add it to my RSS Reader, it defaults to the main RSS feed.
.
I could use Page2RSS but that only updates once a day, and it’s more like a reminder to go look at the page.

I have a solution for that! And will make a note on the page. The “Announcements” category’s feed is the same thing. The page was made possible basically (for WordPress wonks) with code that excludes posts categorized as “Announcements” from the home page – otherwise everything published as a post, no matter what category, goes to the HP. Category feeds are all alongside the category names in the right sidebar as you probably know but for convenience sake, here’s this one:

The only items that will NOT appear in that feed are the occasional announcements I post to the Forum first, but keeping RSS users in mind I will just make a duplicate post when I do that, instead of linking the forum post to the Announced page, which would mean it doesn’t show up in RSS (but does show up in Forum if you RSS that, whew). – TR
