I was suprised to find out that WordPress does not use RSS to export it's data. I have a blogger.com blog and that uses the atom/xml page that can be fed while WordPress doesn't. Can anyone recommend a good plugin or mod that can do this? I would like to have each category in my wordpress blog to be useable by CaRP - the RSS aggregator.

Not sure what you mean - but if you're asking if WordPress offers XML - it does for the overall install, plus each category.
Add
/feed/
to each category URL or the site index and see what happens.

Yes I want to have each category as an XML, I added your suggestion but it still doesn't diplay the category feed:
<?php
require_once '/myroutefolder/carp_gpl/carp/carp.php';
// Add any desired configuration settings below this line using "CarpConf" and other functions
//CarpCacheShow('http://www.geckotribe.com/press/rss/pr.rss');
CarpCacheShow('http://mydomain.com/wrdpress/?cat=2/feed/');
?>
So in theory this should feed the 2nd category in my wordpress blog to a php page but it just shows blank.
EDIT: found the solution, it should read CarpCacheShow('http://mydomain.com/wrdpress/wp-rss2.php?cat=2');
or in wordpress 1.5 and higher simply add &feed=rss2
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
