How to Subscribe to a Particular Category or Label of a Blog in WordPress and Blogger

Sometimes you may be interested in only specific topics or categories of a blog and would want to subscribe to posts of that particular category only. Here is a nice trick to subscribe to a particular category of a WordPress blog or to the label of a Blogger blog.

Subscribe to a particular category in WordPress

To subscribe to a particular category feed of a WordPress blog, all you have to do is add /feed after the category url.

For example, if you are interested in the “Internet” category of Ampercent, then you need to subscribe to http://www.ampercent.com/category/internet/feed/ in your feed reader.

However the same isn’t true for tags and author pages. You can’t subscribe to the posts of a particular author or tag of a WordPress blog (in general).

Subscribe to a Particular Label of a Blogger Blog

To subscribe to a specific label of a Blogger blog, just replace search/label/-/label-name with feeds/posts/default/-/label-name in the browser address bar.

For example, if the Url of the label page of the Blogger blog is

http://abc.blogspot.com/search/label/-/fun

To subscribe to the above label you have to add the following link in your Rss reader

http://abc.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/fun

That’s about it. Now you can filter out categories of a blog and subscribe to only those posts that interest you.
