Topic: Planet CrunchBang Linux

For those who might be interested, Planet CrunchBang Linux is now up and running. The planet is described as, "A window into the world, work and lives of CrunchBang Linux users, hackers and contributors." Everyone within the CrunchBang community is welcome to have their blog feeds syndicated on the planet.

** Please note **, it would be nice if your blog had at least some CrunchBang/Openbox/Ubuntu/Debian related posts. wink

If you would like your blog syndicated on the planet, please provide the following details:

  • Your name as you would like it to appear on the planet.

  • Feed location.

  • An image/avatar to appear next to your feed items. Approximate size: 80x80px.

I would be onboard, but my blog doesn't seem to support RSS for each tag, as I assumed it would sad

Personally, I would have no problem with including non CrunchBang/Linux related posts, I am voyeuristic like that. Having said that, it is up to you. Remember, the planet is supposed to be a "A window into the world, work and lives of CrunchBang Linux users, hackers and contributors." wink

Anyhow, hopefully you will give it some more consideration now that you can actually see the planet.

Re: Planet CrunchBang Linux

The only thing I'm worried about is my photo posts. I'll often post an entry with multiple photographs, which could somewhat fill up the page. Posterous arranges them in a nice javascript carousel, but the RSS feed just has them listed.

You are welcome to add me anyway, but at some point I may ask to have the feed swapped. smile

I really would not worry. I used your feed when I was testing the planet software, it worked well. Prepare for assimilation! wink

Re: Planet CrunchBang Linux

Alrighty then. I was excited when I saw this in the backlog of the IRC room, and now Philip has brought it to life!

Thanks again for another wonderful Crunchbang product...do I smell a Crunchbang laconica server soon!

Corenominal: I submit to you for consideration, the following feed:

I've taken my tumblelog feed and filtered by the keyword 'linux'. Should do the trick smile

I know it could be thought of as cheesy, but as an introduction to a planet goes, it is pretty standard fare. Besides, it could be worse, I could have used h4x0rZ tongue

I am not sure RSS can be classified as web 2.0, whatever that is, as it has been about since 1999, still, I get your point. I appreciate that not everyone is comfortable with "blagging", so I will give some thought to the best way of linking to sites such as yours. Thank you for the suggestion. smile

Re: Planet CrunchBang Linux

just a similarly-styled links list above or below the RSS links would suffice i imagine.

Wasn't sure if I should do it or not. Kept going back and forward but, as you can see, I decided to go ahead with it. My post are pretty much all about Linux anyway. smile

Re: Planet CrunchBang Linux

Hello Sheri smile

I am really pleased that you decided to submit your blog feed, welcome to the planet! I had a problem accessing your avatar via dropbox, it was giving me a 403 error?! Anyhow, I hope you do not mind, but I have used your forum avatar. Let me know if you would like to change it.
