 * I am currently trying to add POST SPECIFIC RSS subscribe options so that users
   can get updates on the topics or discussions that interest them.
 * Is it possible to add POST SPECIFIC RSS feeds to auto update readers with new
   content?
 * If so, where does the code go?
 * Current theme:
 * Theme Name: Shadow
    Theme URI: [http://themehybrid.com/themes/shadow](http://themehybrid.com/themes/shadow)
   Description: A child theme of Options with a dark mixture of blacks and grays.

    –I don’t understand
   what you mean by “POST SPECIFIC RSS” do you mean an rss feed for posts that have
   the same category or tag?

 * Let’s say I have Post A, Post B & Post C
 * User 1 wants to receive updates on Post A & C whereas User 2 want to receive 
   updates on Post B and User 3 wants update to A, B & C.
 * I am looking for a way to allow user to choose which Posts they would like to
   subscribe to without inundating them with not related information.

    — What constitutes an“
   update” of one of the posts? Say you publish Post A, B, & C and then 20 minutes
   later edit/add more to Post B…is that considered an update?

 * Each post automatically has an RSS feed of its comments.
 * Depending on your permalink structure, either put /feed/ at the end of the URL
   or /?feed=rss2&p=88 (where 88 is the post’s ID).

 * Isn’t that only for people who actually comment?
 * I’m looking for a way to allow people that do not comment to subscribe to comment
   updates without actually participating in the post.

    –nope, it’s the post’s comment
   RSS feed
 * for example:

 * AFAIK RSS is a subset of xml
 * you can check for a valid RSS feed at [http://validator.w3.org/feed/](http://validator.w3.org/feed/)
