diveintomark categories as RSS:
The page for each category also has a link to its RSS feed, and a link for Radio users to subscribe to that particular feed.
This was all trivially easy to set up and customize. In Movable Type, you can specify whether to archive your posts as “individual”, “daily”, “monthly”, or by category. For each of those archival types, you can specify as many templates as you like, and even specify the naming scheme for each file it generates. I set up my daily and monthly archives to use date-based URLs, since that was one of the things that I absolutely loved about Manila. (Radio also does this.) But I put all my syndication files in one directory, separate from the archives.
I like Movable Type for the same reason I like Python: it fits my brain. I read through the Movable Type manual (which is excellent, by the way — and linked contextually from every screen in the interface) and immediately understood how everything works. I try new things (like this category-based syndication) and they work on the first try. That never happened in Blogger, or Manila, or Greymatter.
