My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x

Hello
I am launching an audio podcast that will be supplemented by 2 text blogs and some videos. How do I separate the rss feed so that someone can subscribe just to the audio podcast, or have the option of subscribing to just a text blog for example?

thanks!

Use different blogs for the ways you want to separate your feeds.

Thanks for that and all your previous help. I am finally trying to actually load files and see if I can get the rss feed working for my podcast.
Do you know how I check my rss tags, or channel information?

I tried putting the feed for one of my blogs (the podcast) into podcast alley, and got this error message:

Any clues how I deal with this?

You'll have to hack /skins/_rss2/_main.inc.php and add the tags. Can you find a DTD (description of how the XML should look) or a sample of a feed that does get accepted?

Good luck

Wow, I'm totally flumoxed.

I figured that changing all that rss stuff would be over my head, so I tried putting the feed through feedburner. Which gave me a working feedburner feed- except that feed won't validate or work anywhere else!

I couldn't get any response from Podcast Alley what was tbe matter.

If I have to change my rss2 file, and basically force tags that it is supposed to pull, won't that mean that I'll have the same tags (like title, etc) for each of my several blogs?

Has anyone else had problems getting their b2evolution rss feeds to validate?

thanks
