Loading ...Wordpress has a nifty little feature that you can specify a specific category alone to show the feeds with.
(if you’re using pretty permalinks)
for example, johnn saturn’s normal feed is: http://johnnysaturn.com/feed/ – that will display the comics, the blogs and everything it can in one big open feed.
However if you want to see *just* his comic feed it would be: http://johnnysaturn.com/category/comics/feed/
That will display the feed for *just* the comics category. Give it a try on your site, like: http:// yoursite.com / category / <comicscategoryname> / feed /
My feed for Anomaly comic : http://anomaly.frumph.net/category/webcomic/feed/
I use the “webcomic” category for the comics so ^ putting that in will show just the category webcomic feed.
This works best with pretty permalinks btw. Best permalink setting is /%category%/%postname%/ if you don’t have that as the permalink then change it, cause google and yahoo and other engines *hate* the permalinks that look like dates.

Mine don’t look like dates. They look like site/?p=xxx
How do the search engines feel about those kind?
They ignore them. Search engines will not use ‘queried’ URL’s (which is the ?p= part of that) as a practical record for using it as part of the ranking for your site.
the /?p= is not using permalink structure’s, are you unable to because of no access to your .htaccess ?
I’m using DreamHost. I haven’t found the .htaccess and have know idea what the other one is that you mentioned. Actually, I don’t know what either one is, but I’ve seen .htaccess mentioned alot at the ComicPress board.
I do everything either from the WP dashboard or a web based FTP that DreamHost mentioned when I first started.
Initially, I wanted to use the pretty Permalinks, but it seemed overly complicated for me. I might be able to revisit that now though since I’m understanding a little more (I hope). Also, I noticed plenty of webcomics who don’t use them so I figured it was no big deal However, I’m in favor of anything that can make it easier for readers to find me.
Even my feed is using the ugly http://feeds2.feedburner.com/KiddAndGeezer. I’ve seen others with a nicer version like kidddandgeezer.com/feed for example.
How do we get the raw feed, without the page formatting?
Essentially that *is* the raw feed, each browser interprets it to display.
