As your solution is based on Wordpress, which also powers
blog.hackerspaces.org, it would be nice to integrate that:
blog.hackerspaces.org would sitll pull the main hackerspaces|flux but
earth.hackerspaces.org would go straight to the planet. All would run on
the same Wordpress instance with your custom theme...

Did you contemplate the possibility to get the blog feed URL and icon
straight from the wiki into the wordpress?  I remember that most spaces
at the time didn't have a proper 50x50 image for e.h.o and the whole
process has been manual. If we can integrate the wiki and wordpress
better, automation bliss could happen.

*** Thank you for your interest, I hope to see your wordpress setup
merge with blog.hackerspaces.org.
