Feeds work great in Views 2, but was wondering if feeds could have menu items as well as be attached to other views. Here is an example:

Blogs has a view with an attached feed. /blogs and /blogs/feed

From the home page I'd like to link to this feed.

This is of course easy to do with the menu system, but seems like it could be done in the views interface like other views? There may be a good reason not to do this, but I thought I'd ask.

Hmm. I had honestly thought no one would ever really want to create a Drupal menu link to a feed, since it's not an HTML page. They're generally something that's dealt with by some other software and have specialized links so that they appear different.

I don't see much value in allowing feed displays to have menu links, since in the rare case that you want to do this you can put them manually into the menu system. I'll reconsider this if it turns out a lot of people want it, but I can't imagine a lot of people do.

All good points and there may in fact be easier ways to manage feeds across the site. Seems like FeedAPI would be it?

FeedAPI is meant to go the other way, I think, pulling data into your site via RSS.
