My search continues…
Perhaps there is a way to add items to a category that is hidden on the site, but I can’t find a way to change the <link> element to point to another URL. Is there any tool that allows this.
If not, I guess I’ll have to mess around with the PHP and build some custom form elements to my Write Post page that will override the default <link> entries if present. Was hoping it wouldn’t come down to this, cuz my PHP skills suck. 😉
You could try something like this…
Use a service like http://www.xmlhub.com/rssgenr8.php or http://www.feedyes.com/ to make a feed from your customised entries (if you’re smart this could maybe be a hidden WordPress page that you add stuff to as required)
Then combine this with your normal WordPress feed using a feed combiner such as http://feedjumbler.com/
(Also worth a look perhaps is http://www.reblog.org/)
I use the category_visibility plug-in to remove posts in certain categories from the front-page, yet still pop-up in the RSS feed. For example, my del.icio.us links are posted into a blog entry daily, and into the RSS feed… but not on the front page.
In your case, you could create the press release as a post that is hidden from the front page, or maybe attach the press release file to a post… then it would appear in the RSS feed.
