Do you read any blogs that just seem to have too many posts to read? Perhaps you are only interested in reading certain posts. With Yahoo! Pipes you can easily create a custom web page and RSS feed to handle your filtering requests.
1- Go to
Yahoo! Pipes. Get an account if you don't have one.
2- Select CREATE A PIPE.
3- On the left side, drag a FETCH FEED module from the Sources onto the grid canvas.
4- Add the URL of the RSS Feed for the Blog you are interested in filtering. For this example, I will be using the financial blog
The Big Picture.
5- Expand the Operators section and drag a FILTER module onto the grid canvas.
6- Drag a PIPE to connect the FETCH FEED to the FILTER.
7- Create your FILTER rule. For this example, I am going to PERMIT ALL items that follow the Rule: item.category CONTAINS "Psychology/Sediment".
8- Drag a PIPE from the bottom of the FILTER to PIPE OUTPUT.
9- Save the PIPE.
10- Run the PIPE. Now you will see a page displaying just posts in the Psychology/Sediment category. This page will also have its own RSS feed.
11- At this point, you can optional publish the PIPE to allow other users access.
