Amarok blogs and Amarok agregator

[Myriam Schweingruber]

Hi all,

I don't really care, besides the fact that my blog is not on /planet,
only on planetkde. So if the Drupal blog is really usable and I am
aggregated on both /planet and planetkde without having to shout at
five different people for months to come, it's ok for me..


Regards, Myriam
