Using tags on blot.im to get a custom rss feed e.g. for contributing to r-bloggers.

On my old blog, any posts tagged with R appeared in special rss feed with the tag R, which was picked up by r-bloggers. On this shiny new blog powered by blot.im, that doesn’t happen automatically. So if you are using blot and want to contribute to r-bloggers, follow along with what I did, thanks to a tip from the Maker of blot:

  1. Created a new feed adapting these instructions:
  2. In the design for my template, added a new “view” which I decided to name rfeed.xml (.xml to ensure the proper content-type is used). As URL I specified /rfeed.rss.
  3. Pasted in the code; note the two mentions of tagged.R. (I had to post the code on github because it gets eaten by blot.) I tweaked the example given to include the body of the post as well.

Now as I tagged this post with R, it should appear in the feed. I could also have created a tag folder called ‘[R]’ to hold such posts but it is enough just to tag posts with the R tag.

Up next Testing my twitter feed from blot.im I already posted about setting up this blogging platform, blot.im, to push tagged posts to an rss feed. Now I am trying a similar thing to get posts Everything should be evidence-based - if only the evidence would make up its mind already This question came up on an Evaluation mailing list and was forwarded to non other than Andrew Gelman, and for our purposes it can be boiled down
