Can I define pre-selected filters?

Yes, the following link functionalities are possible:

Important: you can write the name of the author/tag as it is, including spaces and special characters. As soon as you visit the URL in the browser, it will automatically be decoded and made url-friendly. You can then copy the URL from your browser and use that as the feed follow link. Also, URLs are case sensitive so mind your capitalization.
