Each blog must be the work of an individual community member, and syndicated articles should (generally) be tagged for Planet inclusion. Participants are obviously free to blog about what they are working on, but we want to keep planet for the people, though exceptions will be made by the Planet team (Mozilla Blog, Planet blog for example). | Planet is a community of people, not products, services or bits.

On Medium, the workaround for this is to [https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214874118-RSS-Feeds-of-publications-and-profiles create a publication dedicated to yourself] and ask Planet to syndicate tagged articles from that publication. Note that the standard syndication on Medium includes all your Medium activity, not just your written articles, which is almost certainly not what you - or the larger Planet audience - want. | ||
