I decided to write a entry to my english postgres blog that streams to planet.postgresql.org. Since my last entry feed's url have been changed (it is still available on the old url, but now it is a copy that may cease to exist any time.
I think it is wise to change feed url from old to new on planet.postgresql.org before posting new entry, in order not to get two entries in the planet feed.
But planet refuses my feed URL, saying "No entries found in blog. You cannot submit a blog until it contains entries." And that is actually what I really need: add a feed _before_ it has entries.
Even if we removed that limitation it still would not be approved by moderators until there were entries on it. So that wouldn't help you.
Now I think I will first create entry, and then change feed url. With luck I would manage to do it before the old feed would be processed and do not get double entry in planet's feed. But I still want to draw a community attention to this problem.
I think it is better to allow to add empty feeds to planet. This will not harm but might be helpful in some cases.
Go into the planet interface using /register/, and hide the current entry/entries. That way there won't be duplicates when you submit the new feed. If they have already been syndicated.
