# Adding non-WP items to RSS feed?

 * I’d like to be able to add additional items to my RSS feed that don’t point to
   WP entries. For instance, we currently have a separate RSS feed for press releases,
   new articles, etc. (things NOT created in WP), but would like to consolidate 
   them to one RSS feed (both WP stuff and other items). Is there a way to do this
   using WP or a plugin? I just want to add customized entries (title, link, description)
   to the WP RSS feed.

 * 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](http://www.xmlhub.com/rssgenr8.php)
   or [http://www.feedyes.com/](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/](http://feedjumbler.com/)
 * (Also worth a look perhaps is [http://www.reblog.org/](http://www.reblog.org/))

 * I use the [category_visibility](http://www.gudlyf.com/2005/03/08/wordpress-plugin-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.
