It’s not that its harder, it’s just because its an after thought.

All feeds are added by hand, when we get a class to add, we make sure to add a tag in FWP for all new blogs- this was not done for open participants.

The real goal is to make signing up to ds106s elf service and have a feed added automatically and tagged.

I wish I could advise, but if you’ve got a dim flashlight, I’ve got a stubby candle. I had no idea it would be so much harder than doing feeds for the other sections. :-(

You’re sweet to try. If y’all get it, I’ll appreciate knowing how for my own stuff.

Yeah, my first thought when I went to tackle this was “Even if I did have the time to manually tag every feed from open online participants, it requires me to know which feeds represent open online participants.” Obviously a better way would be to work this into the signup process, maybe some of the dev work we’ll get from the Kickstarter funds can help that. Still seems like there should be an easy way to say “For all posts that *don’t* match this set of tags, generate a feed.” or “Create a feed that excludes these certain tags.”
