Separate RSS feeds per author?

[gryphoness]

Is it possible in Serendipity to get separate RSS feeds for each of the authors that contributes to a blog? Would this be done through tags, perhaps? Any advice appreciated. =)

Ideally, what I'm looking to get Serendipity to do is behave as though there were multiple blogs under the same system. I'm able to do this by having authors tag their posts with their names, and then using the link to the tag as the link to "their" blog, but it would be cool if we could actually have these tagged sections look differently through CSS. I suppose I could do multiple s9y installations and have them cross-post to a parent blog, but that seems ugly...

Hi!

Yes, it's already part of s9y's core:

http://blog.s9y.org/feeds/authors/6-Carl-Galloway.rss

Depending on your permalink pattern in s9y it might look different on your site. A sidebar plugin exists to list all authors which will also include RSS links for each of them.

You cannot seperate the look of the blog by authors, but if you use the plugin "Extended properties/templates of Categories" you will be able to set distinct templates for each CATEGORY of your blog.
