You must have an RSS feed that contains only content appropriate for Drupal Planet.

Drupal automatically creates an RSS feed for each taxonomy term, and you can submit that term’s feed URL in your Drupal Planet application. Alternatively, you can use the Drupal Planet feature module, which uses Flag and Views modules to create the feed. If you are not using Drupal, you will need to make sure your site can create a feed just for your Planet content.
