Here's what I'm trying to do:

http://kraemers.us/xmlsrv/rdf.php?blog=5&permalink=http://kraemers.us/index.php/2005/11/06/joseph_update_11

or maybe

http://kraemers.us/xmlsrv/rdf.php?blog=5&postid=174

I'm not sure of the correct way to call this up this function. Is this even possible? If so, how do I call up a specific post?

Thanks for your help.

That hack looks like it returns only the comments for a specific post, but I don't care about the comments, just the post by itself.

Why would you want an entire feed for one post? I don't see the use for that. People subscribe to your site's feed so they'll be notified of new posts. So, if you had a feed for each post, then

1. How would people know about it?
2. Once they subscribed to it, there wouldn't be anything new to the feed (unless you change the post or the feed includes new comments).

So people can print a specific post as a PDF document. I use http://www.rss2pdf.com to convert the latest posts to PDF (see http://www.rss2pdf.com/index.php?url=http://kraemers.us/xmlsrv/rdf.php?blog=5).

I want to be able to do this:

http://www.rss2pdf.com/index.php?url=http://kraemers.us/xmlsrv/rdf.php?blog=5&permalink=http://kraemers.us/index.php/2005/11/06/joseph_update_11

It's only for printing purposes, not for subscribing with a feed reader.

I would then add a link at the bottom of each post that says/does something like "View as PDF"

Thanks.

There's a lot more uses for rss feeds than just subscribing with feed readers. Every website requires your rss feeds to use their services.

Blog posts by Email (Bloglet, Feedblitz, Rmail, RssFwd, etc.)
Blog posts as PDF documents (rss2pdf.com, rss2pdf.org, etc.)
Blog posts as podcasts (talkr.com)
Blog posts as HTML (rss2html.com, feedburner.com, etc.)
Republishing Blog feeds (feedburner.com, etc.)

and much more.

You're right. I was just thinking of feedreaders and the way I use RSS. But the XML format is perfect for piping data to all kinds of other uses. Luckily, the developers are much smarter than me and included the feature you wanted. Sorry for being so dense.

I'm having a little trouble calling up the post title. I can call up the whole permalink with

<?php $Item -> permalink() ?>

.
Do I put 'title' in the ()?

Sorry, I am bad when when it comes to php.

Is anybody using talkr.com?

If yes, could you provide a link to your site. I'd like to see how you are using it and how it works (pronunciation, reading, etc)...

are there other similar services to talkr.com?

Thanks in advance,

Edgar,
