All blog posts RSS feed

Hi, I am new to Buddypress.

However I have setup a quite succesfull community of bloggers. What I miss, is that I want to get an activity RSS feed, that contains only blogs posts!
Is this provided somehow or needs customization to be done? The current activity RSS feed I can find, contains all events, like interactions, signups etc. There are filters in the activity screen to display only blog posts etc but are there any RSS feeds for them as well?

Thanks

This is the plugin that I use for that: http://1uthavi.adadaa.com/ada-wpmu-sitewide-feed-plugin/

Is there something similar for people who do not use MU?

If you only have one blog (not MU) then you won’t need a plugin for this. When you go to subscribe to the feed in firefox (blue rss button on the right-hand-side of the address bar, you should see three options: one for the activity feed, one for blogposts RSS and one for blogposts Atom Feed. Another option I find useful is looking at the feed via Safari. I find that because Safari has it’s own RSS reader you can get an immediate look at the actual feed address by clicking on the RSS button at the right hand side of the address bar, where in firefox you are prompted to subscribe via a third party program ie: feedly, google reader etc.

@antonrsaopencirclecoza, this plugin doesn’t work with WordPress 3.0 (with network). Does anybody know analogs?

I’d just create a custom page template and create a RSS feed from a filtered, BuddyPress activity loop that only outputs blog posts.

Here’s a guide that will help you create the custom RSS page template:

Here’s the activity loop codex page:

*Set the action to “new_blog_post”
