RSS feeds of posts we started?

Is there a way to RSS feeds of posts we started? How about of Jeremy's blog? Could it be implemented?

jeremy's blog has rss does it not? oh you mean tracking your comments.

hmm... a bit intensive, cause it's something that has to be tracked individually. might be too heavy for the servers. Maybe it could be a Contrib. Member thing.

I believe this was somewhat discussed before in another thread a while back, about rss feeds for forums (like linux-networking).

where do I find rss of jeremy's blog. I didn't see anything about it.

Right here:
http://jeremy.linuxquestions.org/blog/index.xml

At the top, there is a "Syndicate" link...

RSS feeds are not available with that granularity at this time, but it's something we'll consider for the future.

ok, thank you. I understand it would be resource intensive, but thanks anyway.

My intuition is that with the right implementation, it will be less intensive than people actually surfing the forums, the latter requiring far more pages to be served.

From a technical sense this is unlikely to be true. Most rss clients refresh the data periodically - every 30 minutes in the case of the firefox default. This means that you would be making a request every 30 minutes while your browser was open regarless of whether you were viewing the forums.
