@pfefferle I hate to be the "that's nice but" guy... but using a slug of the user's name instead of the username would be helpful. It's common to use randomized usernames these days. Also I'm afraid I can't turn it on until there's a filter by category. My WP plugin foo isn't the best but I'll take a look at the category bit, at least.

@alan good point, this is still one of the most requested feature. thanks for bringing it on the table!

in the meantime you could use the blog as user and deactivate single-users completely!

@pfefferle It's a single author site, so that was my first step. It's the category filter that's the show-stopper though. I have some side posts that are noindex that I'll share with friends but that I don't want showing up in a feed.

Ugh, actually in the ideal case it's worse than that. It would be nice to have per-category feeds too.

I'll stop now. I can see a lot of work has gone into this and it probably meets 80% of use cases as it is.
