So we can already access the cafe feed at: http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/category/bp-cafe/feed This bypasses feedburner though, so you'll just need to create a new feed at Feedburner with that URL as the source from your blog then name it whatever you want on Feedburner. Add the RSS icon on the cafe page itself with the Feedburner name. Hope that makes sense, it's exactly what you did for the main feed, but using that URL as the source.

I don't want to spam the blog with links but just do a search on "wordpress new rss feed". You have my email, drop me a note if you need any help. Barry,

I looked at some of the names you listed (e.g Mauldin) and I note they have something in common; they are all high net worth individuals. Won't that bias their comments towards a false hope for a continuation of the status quo? Don't you think today's pig can be tomorrow's bacon? By not having an eclectic type who could be rich but is not by choice you are negelcting to represent an outlook which has less bias because it's not pushing a personal money making strategy. You are wrong to not have someone representative of the less than $250,000 a year crowd. Track all those gurus you picked for a year and see how accurate their forecasts are. Do you remember what Mauldin was writing a year ago? The guy is a joke! He doesn't want to deal with people that have less than $2,000,000 to invest. All I can say is when he comes to FusionIQ asking for a loan, watch out. Barry,

This evening, I am going to post some of the changes I plan to make -- and see if anyone has any insight as to how to do these. The separate RSS feeds for the Cafe and Video are on the short list! That’s the plan — but I have yet to figure out how.

I don't see them in TBP feed, are you considering a separate feed for the BP Cafe? I love the idea of the Cafe and have read a few of the post when checking out the site new but I get most of my info from feeds and click through when I want to read comments. I think that I will miss some of the good gets post if you do not set up a feed for them. Andrew Are the Cafe posts going to go out on RSS?
