I think pulling the Gentoo user blogs together is great! But just because a blogger uses Gentoo doesn’t mean that they have something to say about Gentoo an any particular day.

So under thunderbird in NEWS & BLOGS I setup a filter that checks both the subject and body of the Planet Larry blog for ‘Gentoo or gentoo’ and re-direct them to a gentoo folder in my inbox. I leave the rest of the non-transfered Planet Larry blogs alone for a quick read, just in case I find something interesting to me in them. It does save me a good amount of time.

Keep up the good work, I have found the Gentoo blogs very informative

I too would say that there is no need to pull in the Planet Gentoo dev blogs to your feed. I already have them coming in and would prefer to keep user and dev blogs separate. Also, I eagerly await the separation of English and non-English blogs on this Larry-feed. Right now I am closing way too many windows just because I can’t read what they say. I am glad all non-English writers finally found a great place to publish their stories, but at the same time sad that I am not able to take part in the words these users found were so important that they had to blog AND syndicate them, since they are put forward in a language other than English.

Best of luck.

i think pulling in Planet Gentoo would be content overload. i have enough trouble just trying to keep up with both as is.

hrm, i guess it would be one less planet for me to read. still, not everyone wants to read both.

I have to admit, the user blogs have been very cool so far. I don’t know that many people are necessarily interested in my ranting, but since most of my friends aren’t especially technical, at least i’ve got a decent venue for it now :p
