400693 - Add Bob Lord's blog to planet

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: planet.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Johnathan Nightingale [:johnath]]

Bob Lord, in addition to being a dashing young man, writes posts relevant to the Mozilla security community, in his role as NSS Lead at RedHat (or, more likely, a title which is different than that, but feels like it basically means the same thing.)

It's a livejournal blog, which does support tagging, but I can't tell if it supports tag-specific feeds.  In any case, I've included the mozilla-specific URL.  He's indicated that either way (tag-specific or not) works, though.

I can't figure out how to get a feed for the mozilla tag only, but http://boblord.livejournal.com/data/atom works for his entire blog.

Dave, you mentioned something yesterday about trying to get a tag-specific feed for a livejournal blog... Did you ever figure out how to do it or if it is possible at all?

Comment 3

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

yeah, visit that tag from the link on the page, then use the RSS link provided on the lower right of the page (NOT the one Firefox puts in the URL bar).

Comment 4

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

er, hmm, he doesn't have one on his page.  Let me scrounge up the format, I found it yesterday on someone else's

Comment 5

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

ok, try this:

http://boblord.livejournal.com/data/atom?tag=mozilla

or

http://boblord.livejournal.com/data/rss?tag=mozilla

On another feed aggregator I tried to feed those into, the dates in the atom feed weren't recognized, so everything showed up as posted a minute before I added the feed.  The rss feed worked okay.  Planet is likely better at figuring them out though.

Has Bob OK'd this? 

Comment 7

[Johnathan Nightingale [:johnath]]

He has.  From IM earlier today:

[10:59] <Johnathan Nightingale> hey bob - gavin asked me the other day why your blog (or at least some work/NSS-specific feed) wasn't picked up by planet.mozilla - have you thought about it and rejected it, or just not thought about it?
[11:00] <Bob Lord (RedHat)> oh, I never thought about it... it's fine with me.  I don't blog about racy things 
[11:00] <Johnathan Nightingale>    Okay, let me look around - I'll cc you on the bug, whenever I figure out filing it.  
[11:01] <Bob Lord (RedHat)> word
[11:09] <Johnathan Nightingale> is your whole feed the preferred approach, or do you have wordpress-style category feeds?
[11:12] <Bob Lord (RedHat)> you mean based on keywords?
[11:13] <Bob Lord (RedHat)> I'd be happy to tag things "mozilla" for things best suited for inclusion, if that actually works.
