  For me, the value of use Perl is that it has everyone in one place. I see everything that gets posted here (and read most of it); if you happen to write here, I’ll read you. In contrast, for me to specifically subscribe to any single-person weblog in particular, it has to meet a much higher interest bar than the use Perl community as a whole. So I very rarely follow people out of here, even if I used to read them while they were here.

  I know this is true of others too. To walk away from here means to

      And UI is just nicer.

      There's at least two people that I know of, that post the same entries both here and on their own private blog. As I understand it, they write it for the other blog and then use a custom script to post the same content on use.perl.org.

      It's obvious you prefer the other interface by far — and if you feel that way, then you are obviously right.

      So my idea is: write (or port) a little Perl script that can be used to crosspost your blog entries both on your own site, and here? That actually sounds like a

  Sorry mate, but I won't be seeing you there.
  
  I only look at the Recent Posts thing on use.perl for posts, I tend to not see everyone else's posts.
