Thread: PlanetPG on the home page
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I thought we were going to limit the front page planetpg postings to Postgres content only? Right now, my post about Perl module versions is on the front page, and while at least tangentially Postgres related, I purposefully did not give it a "Postgres" category. Of course, I'm not seeing the categories appear in the XML feed either. If this is not a quick fix, could we at least get a verbal reassurance from the planetpg posters to stick to Postgres subjects? I know they've been mostly on track, but I do recall some that were *completely* non-Postgres related. Actually, I'd rather not have any planetpg posting at all then see off-topic ones appear there. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200612192032 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFiJMtvJuQZxSWSsgRAjSIAJ99rvIzIglPxkamQYk8aVixf5yjAACg0oYh sVsnR/sX/ZmYhoxA0zVuGfY= =elRM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The way to do that is to have PlanetPG pick a different feed from your site. To get that done, email Devrim and tell him which category to pick up - at least on people.planetpostgresql.org each category gets it's own RSS feed. The other option we have is to exclude a blog from www.planetpostgresql.org on the website completely while leaving it on the planet - let me know if you want us to do that for yours. //Magnus

Thanks, that sounds perfect, but I'm not sure how that would work - my site *is* planetpg. Or at least, it has no rss feed external to the planetpg one. But I suppose since 99% of my stuff has the "Postgres" tag, losing a few entries from the RSS feed should be safe. Devrim, could you limit the feed to only things from my "Postgres" category? > The other option we have is to exclude a blog from > www.planetpostgresql.org on the website completely while leaving it on > the planet - let me know if you want us to do that for yours. No, but I think we should consider it for other people who have stated that they are using planetpg as their personal blog. I'm not naming names 'cause I don't remember exactly who said that. :) - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200612201308 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFiXx+vJuQZxSWSsgRAjfGAJ9TjPTY/P5YecA2B6fj48cN0URZmQCaAtuc EXuM13zu609jm/sNXpG0cb4= =JGr+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Another option is to switch to some smarter planet aggregation software. I've
looked at two solutions (one php based and one ruby based) and would be
willing to give one a real trial if people were interested.

This assumes that the blogger will have postgresql specific feeds. For
example, if I wanted to ditch my current feed split and switch to all tagged
entries, I'd have to make sure there was a feed for a specific tag (which I
dont think s9y does by default).

Basically they do some keyword searching and other magical algorithmic
searches for posts related to your specified topic.
they are also wirtten in languages we all know (php) and love (ruby) (swap
those to taste) :-)
