Upgrade Planet IF to Venus

Apparently, the problem I mentioned before is from the planetplanet itself. So, I spent sometime to upgrade Planet IF engine from planetplanet to Venus (a.k.a planetplanet version 3.0). Now, everything is working properly, enjoy :)

Problematic Planet

It's Planet IF. I have this problem, it's been here for too long, but it wasn't here at the first time I setup the planet. The problem is, most of the entries in Planet IF link back to itself, not to the owners' site. Most (if not all) blogs from wordpress.com have this problem, and not the self-hosted wordpress sites. 

There are some possibilities. I don't think the problem is from the planet itself, because planetplanet has been in version 2.0 for too long (since I setup Planet IF until now), and I think nobody has this problem. But, that doesn't mean it's bug-free. Second, I think it's the new wordpress.com. Maybe it can't works well with planetplanet,  wordpress.com spit out feeds that couldn't be handled by planetplanet. Third, the problem could be from my planet template, config file, or stylesheet (which is very unlikely, because it's just stylesheet). I think if the problem is from the config file or the template, other feeds originating from everywhere other than wordpress.com should have the same problem, and it's not.

By the way, Planet IF itself now has 100+ blog feeds (some of them are active, some other aren't). And people usually to put just the excerpt on their feed, not all of it, so their reader should go to their blog to enjoy the whole thing. And it's good, people could just skip the entries that they don't really enjoy, and focus on what they like. But somehow, with that problem mentioned before, it's difficult to go to read the whole story because if you click on the links, they link to Planet IF, and nothing happen. It annoys me, and maybe some other people as well.

I will try to solve it, but don't expect too much. For the time being, hmm, I don't have any suggestion other than to dump wordpress.com (which is a very good blog provider). So, just bear with it, or give suggestions to me.
