Generally speaking, Drupal Planet is reserved for posts about Drupal-related topics only. While it looks like you may have some interesting Drupal-related content on your blog, there's also some non-Drupal posts showing up in your feed as well. Is it possible for you to tag your Drupal-related posts with a specific tag (something like "drupalplanet" would work) that generates a feed that could be picked up for the Planet?

I do tag my Drupal-related posts with tag "drupal" already. See: http://mavergames.wordpress.com/category/drupal/

But, I can't figure out how to make this a feed? Would the link above suffice?

hmmm, a wordpress blog in a drupal planet feed?

Yeah, I know. I had the blog before we chose Drupal as the new CMS for our 70 websites. We're now implementing Drupal to run our sites and I'm blogging about it. I hope to one day (when I have time) migrate my blog to Drupal. There must be other blogs in that list NOT in Drupal or....?

We have wordpress blogs already...that's nothing new. It would be great to have the perspective of a librarian in Planet since libraries are a big part of our user base.

I'd like to see a greater level of detail in the posts: http://mavergames.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/more-cloud-issues/ is in the Drupal tag but lacks much real substance on how you are going to deal with the problem of managing 70 sites without shell access. It's a question people have that is left unanswered. The more recent post about CVS is a great question that a lot of people have...but you didn't answer it. If you take the time to research (maybe by posting on the forums or mailing list) and then write a blog post with the question and the answers that would be great.

I think we should move this to "postponed" but am waiting for feedback from the author and others.

Well, I don't have answers to these questions, that's why I'm blogging about them. Hoping to elicit comments, responses, suggestions that I can then follow up on and post what I've found. When I figure things out, I blog about them. It's an evolving process. I'm very new to Drupal (2 months), thus the simplistic nature of my posts so far. Perhaps my perspective would be helpful to other newbies? I'll leave it up to you all at drupal.org...

I won't unilaterally act on this, but express the observation that Wordpress platforms are in the Planet already. I also feel that "yes you're blogging about Drupal but I am not satisfied with your posts" is a rather vague basis for rejection or postponement. Either it's about Drupal (and not spammy) or not, imho.

all good, thanks for the explaination, didn't realize there were non drupal sites in the feeds. I guess thats what I get for reading the feeds and not visiting the sites.

So, does my blog go into Drupal Planet? By the way, I've spent the last few days migrating it from wordpress.com to my own Drupal install. It's going well and I've learned a LOT about Drupal in the process! That's good, because the project I'm managing at work involves moving 70 websites into Drupal using multisite installation in multiple languages...

Please let me know the decision about the inclusion of my blog in Drupal Planet.

Thanks!
Chris

Any +1 from another maintainer?

Posted by laura s on July 14, 2009 at 2:12pm

I'll offer a +1 now. Don't have the 5 min to do it, but can act on this later today. Or someone else can, or dissent. ;)

Added as "Chris Mavergames" and set to update every 1 hour. Just remember anything with that 'Drupal' tag is going to the Planet, so keep it relevant and good quality. Welcome to Drupal Planet! :)

Is the used tag Drupal, or Drupal Planet? As far as I remember, the tag should be changed to what requested by the new requirements, once the feed is updated.
