Comment #2
dave reidFor my vote, I'd like to see just a little bit more content than 2 posts just to make sure your posts are relevant and will be a good fit for the Drupal Planet.

Comment #6
jojototh commentedAdded another articles + a huge post: "Ultimate Drupal tutorials collection", please add me to the planet. Thanks a lot...
Comment #7
deekayen commentedI still get the feeling the posts are just being made to get listed, then will stop. There was a burst of posts when this was submitted, then nothing for a month. Postponing for later review.

jojototh commentedJust that you know, I am a designer at CivicActions and I blog about more topics then only Drupal (design, inspiration...), which could be the reason why it could look like there isn't a post about Drupal too often... But we want to bring more designers to Drupal, and I am trying to help that with my blog...
Today I posted an article about 70 beautiful Drupal sites, see it here: http://mogdesign.eu/blog/70-beautiful-drupal-sites/
Comment #9
deekayen commentedAdded to Planet.
Comment #10
jojototh commentedThank you, much appreciated
Comment #12
gregglesAfter http://mogdesign.eu/blog/33-most-useful-domain-tools/ I moved this to Drupal Talk.
Posts should be on-topic for Drupal or not tagged with the Drupal term.
Comment #13
jojototh commentedI removed tags from not/drupal related articles and will keep only drupal related articles tagged with drupal term... can you pls readd me to planet?
Comment #14
jojototh commented*bump* pls readd me
Comment #15
avpadernoLooking at the feed, I find , and similar text about other CMSs.
Drupal Planet is read from users who are looking for news about Drupal; they would not surely happy to read news about other CMSs. The feed must be filtered to contain only articles about Drupal.
Comment #16
dave reidAlso http://mogdesign.eu/blog/free-website-style-guide-photoshop-template-my-... is still tagged with Drupal.
Comment #17
jojototh commentedOk, I might be overreacting now, but I still think that you are not right.
1. Photoshop style guide article says that as a Drupal designer I hope it would be a tool to empower drupal designers to design more beautiful sites. It was built by a drupal designer, based on a drupal site, sponsored by a drupal shop... what else is needed to meet the requirements for the planet?
2. re: "Looking at the feed, I find "WordPress showcase gallery", and similar text about other CMSs" - if you look at the article, not only at the feed, you would see that it presents showcase galleries with drupal only sites. Yes, it also lists galleries of other CMS galleries. Saying that "drupal developers would not surely happy to read news about other CMSs" is not right imho. We need to compare our work with our competition. That is the way we get better. If drupal ux team would not look at wordpress and other cms drupal 7 ux improovements would definitely not be as great.
You need to understand that I am a designer and most of my posts will never be about how to code that super featured module that will integrat all kind of stuff. But if drupal comunity wants to embrace designers, I think it could also be more welcomoming for people that are not the "coding superheros"
I dont want to sound like arrogant designer, I appreciate the work of drupal community wich I am part since drupal 4.6, I also appreciate the work of drupal.org webmasters, but I just don't understand your reasons...
thanks a lot for understanding
Comment #18
avpadernoThe feed is called , not ; that is the main reason the articles should be tagged as Drupal. The fact an article is titled is already a reason to not accept it; I would not expect the article is about Drupal, when the title makes references to Wordpress.
Comment #19
jojototh commentedCan you please point me to an article that is titled "wordpress showcase gallery"? The only possible article that you could be writing about is "CMS Showcase Galleries - Webdesign Gallery Week"... that is definitely not a "wordpress showcase gallery" ! http://mogdesign.eu/blog/cms-showcase-galleries-webdesign-gallery-week/
If that article would not be useful to drupal people, why would Glenn Hilton - owner of Imagexmedia.com (big drupal shop, sponsor of drupalcons...) comment that article: "Great post Jozef. Few galleries that I wasn’t familiar with that I’m going to check out. Very helpful."
Comment #20
avpadernoWhen I read the feed, I find the following text:
WordPress showcase gallery
WordPress Showcase
We Love WP
Wp Showcase Theme
Looppress
WP Inspiration
WP Luxe
After that, I find also:
Joomla showcase gallery
Best of Joomla
Joomlabased
J!Case
CSS Plattform
If you read what I wrote, I reported that I find that text in the feed, not that an article was titled . If the text is the title of an article, or is the content of an article, that doesn't make any differences; still the article is not only about Drupal.
Comment #21
dave reidMy concerns with those posts have been addressed. I've added mogdesign back into Drupal Planet.
Just please keep in mind that anything that you use with that "Drupal" tag is not only aggregated into Drupal Planet, it's also sent out via twitter (drupalplanet) and send to thousands of people using feed readers. If the only way Drupal is mentioned in an article is one sentence, a good majority of people are going to think it was a waste of time and off-topic. There is a lot of content that gets put in the Planet every day, and we all want it to be about Drupal.
This is why I encourage people to actually use a "Drupal planet" tag when included in Drupal Planet. That way you consciously have to think to yourself "I'm going to add this post where it will be read by thousands of Drupalers" instead of "I'll just tag this with 'Drupal' since I mentioned it".
Comment #22
jojototh commentedThanks a lot Dave, I will keep that all in mind when writing posts for drupal. I hope to be a contribution to the drupal community
Comment #25
jojototh commentedCould you please check if planet it getting articles from our feed at: http://mogdesign.eu/blog/category/drupal/feed/
I have posted an article on friday and cant find it on planet.
Thanks!
Comment #26
gregglesHere's a list of the items in your feed that are in the planet http://drupal.org/aggregator/sources/478
The publish date on that item is december 19 so it's many pages back in the planet. Maybe it needs to have it's publish date updated to "now" ?
Comment #27
avpadernoKeep in mind that the Aggregator module doesn't show a post if the post results published X days ago. (I don't recall if it is 60, or 90 days.)
If the publication date is not correct, some of the posts are probably not shown from Drupal Planet.

dddave commentedunassigning Dave Reid
I am pretty sure I've read that article before Christmas. I could of course confuse it with a similar theming article...
Comment #29
jojototh commentedSolved, most probably a views setting error (to display not published), or my colleague published it mistakenly.
Thanks anyway!
