Re: dot articles on planet kde

Dude, you surprised me. Excellent work. I personally like that idea to
add the dot and apps to the planet and would not add them to the rss.
I don't know if it's possible but could there be two feeds (personal
or all blogs) and the rss link directs you to the feed according to
your settings?

Cheers,
Thomas
