Easily the single biggest draw to using WordPress (apart from the price of course, which is priceless didn’t you know), is without a shadow of a doubt the actual community that has gathered around these handful of PHP files. I know I couldn’t do a slew of things as easily as I’m doing them now without the community. Whenever I want to do something, someone’s already taken the time and done it for me.

So you can imagine my shock when I’ve actually come up with a couple of things that I’d like to do that unfortunately haven’t been touched upon, or at least I’m completely ignorant about. If they do exist and you know about them, please tell me, you’d make my day for sure, maybe even my week :)

1. RSS Control

   WordPress provides you with the native ability to provide an rss feed for any category you choose, by adding a /feed at the end of the link (you can read a much more indepth explaination on Phu's site). Very nice, very simple. Unfortunately this gives the user absolutely no indication of what feed they're actually subscribing to, unless of course they decides to have a wad through the damn url, and then they've got to change the name manually in the aggregator to distinguish between the several feeds from the same site. Ideally what I'd like is a plugin (don't like hacks very much as they're usually broken when you upgrade and that's a complete shag) that helps me control the feeds themselves. Lets me give different category feeds a different name.

<li><h6>Download Posts</h6>

Now I know Chris is working on this, but he seems to be having a wee bit of trouble implementing the thing. So I’m going to put it out there, maybe someone’s got the answer because they’ve done it already etc. What I’m looking for here is a simple plugin that will download my posts and all associated information (not so bothered about comments although that would be an excellent feature), in a specific order, for a specific period of time. The alternative is to make a theme and download that, which I did, but it doesn’t have the level of control a plugin has, and also it would have to be used with a plugin such as the Custom Query String plugin (which isn’t working 100% for me for some reason) to control how the order the posts are shown.
