You can offer your readers feeds that only cover specific categories.  WordPress does offer this capability out of the box, but it&#8217;s not the default.  Furthermore, you will want to burn all your category RSS feeds with Feedburner.  Below I list the steps for adding category RSS to a WordPress blog using Feedburner:<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->1.  Figure out your blog&#8217;s category feed.  This is most likely the URL for your blog&#8217;s category page plus \/feed.<\/p>\n<p>2.  Burn each category&#8217;s feed in Feedburner.  If you have many categories, this can be time-consuming.  Fortunately, this is a one-time exercise.<\/p>\n<p>3.  Add &amp;feed=rss to your wp_list_cats call and save the file.  You will see (RSS) appearing next to your category titles with links to each category&#8217;s RSS feed.<\/p>\n<p>4. If you want to use the feed icon (or any other image) rather than the word &#8216;RSS&#8217; to indicate your feed, you can modify the wp_list_categories function (usually found in \\wordpress\\wp-includes\\category-template.php).  In that function, set the default feed_image variable to the URL of your feed image.  For example, in &lt;a href=&#8221;http:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog&#8221; mce_href=&#8221;http:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog&#8221;&gt;Technology Tips&lt;\/a&gt;, this is set to<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;feed_image&#8217; =&gt; &#8216;http:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/imgs\/feed-icon.png&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>5.  Set up redirects so that your default category feeds now point to your Feedburner feeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shows how to add category RSS feeds to your blog using Feedburner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19],"tags":[178,149],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":469,"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions\/469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.1keydata.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
