I think that having planetpostgresql on the front page is not a good
idea. Maybe, put it under community instead? As an example, I use the
planetpostgresql blog for a personal blog, not a professional one. Which
means, I very well will put things up there that really shouldn't be up
on the front page of postgresql.org.

My article on Oil profits being a perfect example.
