Given that drupal allows me to create any URL alias that tickles my fancy, where do I place RSS feeds?

Current parameters:

]]> I'm wrestling with a tiny problem, but it's sticky and needs to get decided soon. Given that drupal allows me to create any URL alias that tickles my fancy, where do I place RSS feeds?

Current parameters:

  1. There will be a main page for feeds, listing all available feeds, at /feeds
  2. There will be a main page for blogs, listing all available blogs, at /blogs

Now, given an example blog -- let's call it Eclectic -- where should its feed live?

  1. /blogs/eclectic/feed (implies that an all-blogs feed would be at /blogs/feed)
  2. /feeds/blogs/eclectic (implies that an all-blogs feed would be at /feeds/blogs)

It's a site-philosophy question, when you think about it. Should I treat RSS feeds like their own entities deserving of their own directories (option 2), or are they just offshoots of an already-existing directory (option 1)?

I can have either, and it's just a matter of which alias I type in, but once I make this decision I'm stuck with it down the road.

]]> Reminder - update your RSS feeds http://domesticat.net/2008/01/reminder-update-your-rss-feeds 2008-01-23T01:58:49+00:00 2008-07-12T16:28:42+00:00 domesticat A quick reminder, since some of you may have missed it the first time around. If you're reading cat.net via RSS, you need to actually log in at domesticat.net to get your new RSS feed addresses. Doing so will update the links you currently see below. (You'll see a ?token=[foo] string at the end of the next three lines if you're logged in when you view this post. That's the URL you want to use in your RSS reader from now on.)

Thanks for understanding. I know this is a pain, but restricting post access is the only viable answer I've found so far.

Also: if you read cat.net via friends list on LiveJournal, please email me? I'll need to set up something special for those folk...
