Help. ¶ I want to split my RSS feeds by tags. One feed for posts tagged with “lesson,” another for the rest. (That way folks uninterested in the workings of my classroom don’t have to bother.) The current combined feed would stand as is. ¶ What’s the fastest way to do this? I looked into Feedburner but felt like I was committing to wallpaper swatches on a first date.

Ok, looks like you’re using wordpress. Good for you. I’m assuming that your WordPress install is in the root folder, or blog.mrmeyer.com. In that case, the feed for a given category would look something like this:
https://blog.mrmeyer.com/?feed=rss2&cat=2
The number after “cat”, in this case “2”, corresponds with the ID number of the category that you want to show the feed for. Go to your WordPress control panel, click Manage, and then Categories for this information.
That should be enough to get you rolling. Let me know if you need more help. Feel free to email me if you need more.

http://sicheiiyazhi.com/category/education/feed/
Where “education” is the category.
You might have your blog set up differently than mine, though.
Good luck.
