Summary: Andy Balaam introduces his blog aggregator.

Body: 

Since 2011 I have been maintaining a blog aggregator ‘Planet Code’ [1] that collects together blogs by people interested in coding. Many of the blogs that are aggregated are written by ACCU members, but it’s not an official ACCU web site.

(By the way, I’d be happy to help set up an official one, or transform Planet Code into one, if the ACCU committee wanted to do that.)

If you’d like to suggest a site to add to Planet Code, including your own, or ask for a site to be removed (also including your own!) please drop me an email on andybalaam@artificialworlds.net.

I’d also welcome feedback on the site redesign I published this month, switching over to a WordPress platform instead of the static Venus system I was using before. Hopefully. this makes the site more mobile-friendly, readable, searchable and capable of aggregating feeds on modern HTTPS servers. Please let me know how it could be improved.

If anyone would like to help administer the site, making it a little more bus-proof, I’d like to hear from you.

If you’re wondering how decisions are made about what to include, it’s done in an informal way at the moment, with all decisions being made by me. If you’d like to raise any concerns with me, please get in touch.

I include feeds if:

  • A significant proportion of their content covers programming topics, especially those I judge to be of interest to ACCU members. (This includes not too much blatant advertising!)
  • They don’t contain material that promotes hate or prejudice, or harasses or marginalises people and they don’t contain imagery or language that would be unsuitable for children.

In most cases if I felt I needed to remove a feed I would contact its author to discuss it. In urgent cases, though, I might remove the feed before having that conversation.
