Sun Alumni/Community site migrating to Planets

I sent an email off the other day regarding a problem that I was seeing on Community.Sun.Com (CSC) and I got the following in an email response.

The aggregator that runs community.sun.com is being replaced by planets.sun.com. The community.sun.com (CSC) team will then redirect CSC to http://planet.sun.com/alumni/group/blogs/.
But in the meantime, could you please point directly to the planet.sun.com (PSC) URL?

Since, the PSC application meets the need, we won't be debugging the CSC application.

Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you.

So my next question was, will this mean that the Community site will look more like the BSC site, which just had some updates like "Most Recent Tags" and "New Bloggers", but alas the PSC site doesn't have those feature. But there may be some hope, I got this as a reply to the "new look" question.

There is a redesign in progress for the sun.com community venues, so community.sun.com will have a new look -- I'm hoping the roll out will happen by the next quarter.

Community.Sun.Com or Blogger feed issue?

This is strange, my posting seem to be back dating themselves and taking the place of my postings that are already on the community site. As a test, this posting is being published on 11/21/06 @ 9:50 PM.

Moving over to Blogger Beta

I took the plung today and decided to move my blog over to the Beta version of Blogger. So far so good, the new interfaces for editting your template and layout are very easy to use. In almost all the cases I just copied any scripts from the old template into the new "Html/javascript" layout module. In some cases I left them un-named, if I didn't want some thing labeled, like the site meter, meta tags, technorati, etc. Overall, about 98% of the elements that I had in the original are now incorporated into the new version. I also changed the template to freshen it up a little. The only thing missing is the "Bike Lane" graphic that I had created. I haven't quite figured out how to get it back up into the header area, but I'm working on it.

Blog was misfed

No, it wasn't eating too much junk food, it looks like the feed url should have been ...rss.xml vs the default ...atom.xml. This seemed to be causing either an error message or a prompt for username and password when trying to read my blog entries from the SUN Community site.

Tuesday Ride for 8/8/06: Weather should be great. The route will probably be out and around Ottawa Lake, starting and ending at the North High School parking lot in Waukesha (round trip about 36 miles).
