Urdu Planet Updates

Since there is some confusion on how Urdu Planet works, here is an attempt at clarification.

Urdu Planet is based on the Planet software. Basically, a script is run every 6 hours (at 12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm US Eastern Time) which looks at the current Atom or RSS feeds of the blogs included in Urdu Planet. The Urdu Planet page then aggregates all the posts that have a date less than 7 days old at that time. In case there are more than 60 such posts, only the latest 60 posts are included on the Urdu Planet webpage. This means that if you post something at 6:05am US Eastern time, it won’t appear on Urdu Planet until noon.

Also, Urdu Planet does not store your blog posts other than what appears on the Urdu Planet page. Therefore, any changes to your blog posts are reflected at Urdu Planet on the next 6-hourly update.
