So far, so good. Posts to my livejournal and to a few other blogs are automatically being picked up in my x-pollen category. They don't show attribution, though. That is, you can't tell if one came from my personal journal and another from my political blog. I'm not sure if that's tweakable. If not, I may have to use a separate category for each feed.

Another dilemma is that right now I'm not having these entries appear on the home page. I'm worried they'll clutter and de-focus the main thrust of this blog. On the other hand, I'm still trying to figure out how to coordinate my various blogations, and I'm usually skeptical of hierarchical systems as being too static. I prefer multiple metadata so that various forms of filtering can be done by the reader.

In one view, Radio Free Blogistan is my metablog channel and I have other channels for other kinds of writing. On the other hand, RFB is the one getting all the attention right now, so it's tempting to fold everything else into it. Keeping personal stuff separate from technical and editorial stuff also makes sense, but the most popular blogs tend to mix personal with intellectual with business. "The personal is political," isn't that what they used to say?

I'll keep thinking about this.
