    I have a site that I’m planning out and I’m wondering how to accomplish this. There will be 20-30 categories in a certain weblog. I want members to be able to select the categories that they’re interested in and then filter the weblog based on that preference when they’re logged in.

    For example, say I have a weblog of TV shows. A particular user is only interested in reading about LOST and The Simpsons, so they select those when they sign up / modify their profile. From there when the user visits the TV shows page, I want to filter down the TV shows weblog to only display news about LOST and The Simpsons, instead of all the shows on the site.

    Any suggestions for a) filtering categories based on member and b) setting the preferences for members to select categories?

    This sounds like a job for Solspace’s User module.
