WordPress Category and Author Feeds
All of this information is available in different files, but I couldn’t find it all in one place, so I’m going to post it. If nothing else, I can come back to this post when I forget it myself. On multi-author blogs I often want to provide author and...
Exporting Partial HTML for WordPress Posts
