I need to get blog categories "News" and "Events" into the same XML feed.

I have 6 categories in my blog but I need a seperate feed for just these two. I tried
<MTEntries lastn="15" process_tags="1" category="Events", "News">

but that didn't work. Anyone know the right code? This is using Movable Type but any leads would be helpful

Read my XML lessons, could help for a distillation on syntax (www.crossler.com/635.781)


<MTEntries lastn="15" process_tags="1" category="Events", "News">

The Red part above isn't going to work. I don't know Moveable Type, but you can have a variable be a String or a NMTOKEN (which means it's an array list seperated by spaces - so "Events News" would mean two things), so check what variable type is being asked for in the Moveable type documentation.

If that doesn't help call/email, and I'll look it up. I've always wanted to learn moveable type.

thanks,
"News Events" didnt work as you can have string categories so it is looking for a literal "string".

Movable type is a dream to work with. I seriously love it. We use it in some very inovative ways and we pretty much lead the marketing industry in using it as a CMS. We even generat HTML emails via Movable Type! I only know of 2 other companies that do that.

If MT had an auth system it would be an amazing CMS!
