But that requires individuals to post directly to that blog. This is a different idea &#8212; post to your very own blog, and the AustinBlog will aggregate your Austin-related posts.<br \/>\nI created a demo site, <a href=\"http:\/\/topicexchange.com\/t\/austin_blog\/\">here<\/a> which has some of my Austin posts from recent months.<br \/>\nAll we need to do to post to the blog would be to add this trackback to the posts on our own blogs about Austin. http:\/\/topicexchange.com\/t\/austin_blog\/<br \/>\nThe resulting content will be available as an RSS feed, which we could pull into a standalone MovableType-based blog (for example, and if I get the RSS plug-in working correctly). This could be formatted more nicely than the native wiki format.<br \/>\nPeople who don&#8217;t use trackback can enter their URL in a web form <a href=\"http:\/\/topicexchange.com\/t\/austin_blog\/#newping\">here<\/a> or use the MT trackback server (not sure how that works yet.)<br \/>\nI&#8217;m travelling this week, so I can&#8217;t work on a standalone aggregate blog until next week.<br \/>\nI sent an email to everyone I remember participating in the AustinBlog conversation over the last few weeks.
