Author, author (for Planet RDF)
Alright, this is an odd blog post since it’s really directed at the bloggers who are aggregated on Planet RDF, and this was the only way I could figure out how to get it there.
Like many of the other blogs on this site, the Tetherless World blog has a number of different authors who write our pieces. On PlanetRDF, however, if we don’t sign the blog, you cannot tell who wrote it (except by guessing) unless you link over to the original blog site. This is odd as the RSS feeds from most of these blogs use some form of author field.
I did a little mousing around, and best I can tell there seem to be a bunch of different ways the different blogs report the author, with the RSS author element not being the most used. I wonder if either we the bloggers, or PlanetRDF’s keepers, might not think about fixing this somehow?
At the very least, perhaps we could use the low tech solution and sign our blogs.
cheers
