I’ve been thinking about the kinds of things that I can do with Plagger and I’ve realised that it can solve a problem that isn’t really much of a problem at the moment but that can only get worse.
I write in a number of places. Only this morning, I started a Vox blog. I’ve been using Feedburner to combine some of my RSS feeds into one handy package, but it’s not very flexible. Plagger, however, gives me all the flexibility that I need. I can aggregate everything that I want into my own “personal planet” and republish a combined feed.
So that’s what I’ve done. I’ve set up planet davorg which aggregates a number of my web feeds. I’m sure I’ll be adding more over the coming weeks. Of course I don’t really expect anyone to read that web page – there are RSS and Atom feeds, and even an OPML file. I’ll point my Feedburner site at this new feed tonight.
Oh, and this is the first project that I’ve put on theplanetarium.org – the new domain I’ve registered for all my feed aggregation experiments. I’ve already got a few more ideas…
I’ve been pondering the last few days about making the frontpage of my site a plagger install grabbing the various rss feeds of things. sicne after all at the moment its just a bunch of links to them anyway
Sure would be great to see a clone of http://planet.perl.org/, except powered by perl..
