   I'm trying to do a FeedBurner BuzzBoost, in order to post content from my blog on another site of mine. But I need a way to only show posts for a specific category. For example, when I click on one of the categories in the sidebar, I'm taken to a page with a url of http://domainname/wordpress/?cat=6. But apparently there isn't an RSS feed setup for that particular page. Which means I can only burn http://domainname/wordpress/?feed=rss2, but then it shows everything.

   Is there a way I can create a feed for each category? I really need to break them up. I realize that if the blog was installed under the same domain, I could simply pull in the WordPress variables I need, but that's not possible in this case.

   Thanks for your time.

   (it's in the Codex)

   Your example is in the Codex, but unfortunately, it doesn't work in the RSS Feed sidebar widgets. When I add ?cat=## to the link I get: "Error: could not find an RSS or ATOM feed at that URL."

   Suggestions?

   FYI: I fixed my problem by registering a category specific feed with feedburner. Didn't actually find an answer to the problem, but it works.
