Customizable RSS Feeds? It’s In Here

John Robb mentions a feature at Adrian Holovaty’s weblog — customizable RSS feeds (unfortunately, as I write this, Adrian’s site is unreachable).

This is a feature which my weblog has had for several months. All you need to do is use this URL:

http://brian.carnell.com/index/rss/?body=

and add the text you want to look for after the “body=”

For example,

http://brian.carnell.com/index/rss/?body=John+Robb

. . . will return all of the weblog posts featuring Robb.

Personally, though, text-based searching like that quickly runs into some problems and limitations which is why I’ve got almost 250 topical RSS feeds (and growing) that can be subscribed to here.

A complete list of all the RSS feeds for this site can be found here.
