Mateusz, 
I am flattered by your interest but that web site is still more of a personal afterthought and not really relevant to OSGeo. The standard MediaWiki RSS is no good for a blog either. If I ever get around to regularly blog useful content on OSGeo related issues I'll come back to you with a working RSS.  

Best regards, 
Arnulf.
