A simple answer would be to simply filter what we display on the front
page of the site. istm there is no reason why we cannot a) restrict the
articles shown to only those from specific authors, and b) restrict the
articles from those authors to ones in specifc categories.

That way, if Joshua wants to post a useful howto, he can do so, and
categorise it under 'PostgreSQL' to have it show up on the front page of
the site. If he wants to blog about his pet cats latest antics then he
can categorise under 'Family' which won't show up on the front page.

There is some valuable stuff on planetpostgresql, it would be good to
include it if we can.
