[edit] Syndicated feed related templates

[edit] RSS feeds for every category

1. Create a new Archive-Related Template by copying code from the existing RSS 2.0 template and saving.
2. Go to WEBLOG CONFIG/Archive Files and create a new template/archive. Choose "Category Archive" for the archive type and your new Category RSS for the template. Select ADD.
3. For the new template you've just added, set up an Archive File Template with this code and save changes.

   <MTArchiveCategory dirify="1">.xml

4. In your existing Category Index, add this code after the category names and entry counts:

   <a href="<MTBlogArchiveURL>/<MTCategoryLabel dirify="1">.xml">

   <IMG src="http://blog.case.edu/XXX/YYY/xml.gif" border=0></a>

   where XXX is your blog directory and YYY is your image directory. Make sure to add the necessary image to your image directory.
5. If you want each feed to be titled differently, make sure to change the title in your new RSS Category Template so it reads similar to this:

   <title><$MTBlogName remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$>

    - <$MTArchiveCategory encode_xml="1"$></title>

   or every category feed will have the name of your blog only.
