   Good evening,

   I wanted to know if it was possible to create an additional RSS feed for posts with a specific post format - either "aside" or "status."

   I know that I could use a separate category for everything I post as an aside or status, and use the RSS feed for that category, but I wanted to know if anyone had found a better way?

   Thanks,
   Steve Ryan

   You can make an rss feed for anything!

   Will get you the gist of how it's done. You can basically set up a page template using that code. Then create a page, and assign the template to it. You'd most likely not want that page in your site's navigation.... but the url to that page would get you the RSS feed.

   I did that very thing for a hockey feed for personal use. I used feedwordpress to gather hockey feeds and make posts. Then spit out my own custom feed using that

   For a post format, you'd have to modify the query in the code. Formats are a taxonomy

   Excellent. I'm sure I'll be able to alter the RSS page template for my own purposes. And, great to know that the post format feature is available with a regular WP_Query. Opens up a lot of new possibilities!

   Thanks for your help,
   Steve Ryan
