Adding an Entire Blog (Every Category/Tag)
Using this method means that every post you make on your blog will be included on the inConversation website. The feed URL you want in this case is almost always: www.example.com/feed/ .
Adding Specific Categories
You can choose to have inConversation aggregate only specific categories by using the category specific feed URL, which exist by default in Wordpress. The usual URL could look something like: www.example.net/category/CATEGORY_NAME/feed/, replacing CATEGORY_NAME with what's appropriate. This assumes you're using short-URLS. To check your URL structure, try visiting a category page on your site, and adding feed/ to the end of it.
Adding Specific Tags
This is the same as for categories above, you can use the tag name in the feed instead of the category name. For example: www.example.com/tag/TAG_NAME/feed/ .
Using Pings to Notify inConversation of Updates
Wordpress supports pings. This means that inConversation can aggregate a new post you make within 5 minutes of the post being made. To enable this, browse to Settings->Writing in your Wordpress admin interface, and add http://www.inconversation.org/xmlrpc.php to the section labeled "Update Services". For more information on how inConversation aggregates your blog, see The Aggregation Process.
