Still, it's better than having almost 500 elements on the front page. I'll search around to see if anyone has already written a hack for this.

Not sure if it makes sense to hack on planet to do something specific to twitter The problem with the twitter feed for mumineen.org is that when you click on it, you don’t jump directly to the blog post but get dropped to twitter and have to reclick again.

Rather than following the RSS feed and having so many photos making up over 400 elements to the page, I'm following the mumineen.org twitter feed instead, which still gives the headlines, but doesn't show all the content. Though I'm not sure if this is the best solution or not. Maybe people are interested in seeing both religious and personal content in one place. Easier to get all the information in one place. But I like the idea of following the Twitter feed rather than the main RSS as it makes the Planet Bohra page a lot lighter to download. I'll try out the current setup for a while and see what the feedback is. Can always change later if necessary. Ali Aziz,

My suggestion would be to remove the Akhbar and Bilad feeds and keep it focused solely on individuals. It should be noted that the religious and news-y content can already be seen in one place - just follow the twitter feed for mumineen.org, twitter.com/mumineen. that feed, and the "individuals" feed, might be physically separated on PB. then, you'd have a clear division of context. to be honest, I think the experiment would work better if it were to exclude the religious aspects and focus only on the voices of Bohra bloggers.

The site you listed is a company website without an RSS feed. Actually what I was really going for was personal blogs.
