As the games are ramping up and you are getting everything in line for all the content you hope to be producing this February and March, I thought I would whip up and interesting way to take all of that content and put into one RSS feed. This way you can offer up a specialized pipe of coverage to your readers, media outlets, or even getting your content aggregated in the TNMH News Feed.

What I’ll do in this post is explain what I’ve done with my various RSS feeds to create a single feed for my coverage of the winter games. There might be other ways that would be better for this, and that’s what comments are for. We can collaborate and give plenty of great information and ways to do this, so feel free to hack apart these instructions if you’ve got a better idea!

For starters, here’s what I’ve currently combined to create a specialized games coverage feed:

• My personal blog using posts of a certain category
• Photos from my Flickr account with the particular tag

It’s not much, but considering there might be a core audience that is strictly interested in any content that I publish concerning the games, this is a specialized feed just for them. This way they can bypass anything else that might not be of interest. More so, this is a better feed for me to have aggregated on TNMH because any other blog posts or photos that I upload that are not apart of our general theme here isn’t cluttering things.

There are a couple of ways to do this, and I’ll start out with the easier method before moving on to the more complex one (depending on what level of knowledge you have).
