In case you haven’t seen it, [Artima.com](http://Artima.com) has created a new "Buzz"  
section, where anyone with a weblog can point Artima at their RSS feeds,  
and Artima will create an aggregation of posts in related topics. You  
can then use Artima’s discussion functionality to leave comments, as  
well as having access to an aggregated RSS feed of all items in that topic.

Artima has a “Ruby Buzz”  
([http://www.artima.com/buzz/community.jsp?forum=123](http://www.artima.com/buzz/community.jsp?forum=123)), so if you’re  
writing about Ruby on your weblog (which I know some of you are), go  
sign up with Artima. As of now, James Britt is the only one who has  
signed up, so the Ruby category is looking pretty bare.

And what’s somewhat disappointing is that Artima only allows one blog  
per person per category, so it was a choice between ruby-doc and  
rubyxml. Assorted demands have been keeping me from contributing much  
to either, but rubyxml has been suffering some code issues (rewriting  
the back-end code is one of those assorted demands on my time) so I  
opted for [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org).

But by all means anybody with a Ruby-related web log should hook up an  
Artima account and list a blog.

(Dave Thomas has his blog listed under “Design Buzz”; Artima itself  
hosts a number of worthwhile blogs from the likes of Robert C. Martin  
and Ward Cunningham: [Artima Weblogs](http://www.artima.com/weblogs/index.jsp)  
It’s also featured a multipart interview with Dave and /\ndy.)

Simple workaround: One RSS file listing entries from two blogs.  
Aggregate, then submit, instead of having them do it.

I have – my RSS file is hand-updated at the moment, but that will  
change as I develop my weblog-in-wiki software.

Which is excellent, by the way, and I highly suggest reading. I’m on  
part 5 of the interview now as I write this.
