Link blog

Kottke, a person who has a website I visit quite often and copy from frequently, has a section called Remaindered Links. It's essentially a link blog: a few little snippets about some interesting websites he's visited lately. A lot of people use del.icio.us for this. I started using that, but didn't really like storing my stuff on a different site, seeing that I already have a website with tons of storage space. Since then, I've been using the WordPress "Links" feature and displaying some of my most recently visited links. But these links aren't stored in the same database as other WordPress entries, so they're not searchable. Kottke also wrote about Tumblelogs, which are sort of like link blogs, but more stream-of-consciousness. Entries can be focused on links, but they don't have to be. I liked this idea, so I decided to make a little change. But instead of being one of those jerks who just uses some cool new word to describe everything he does (Ajax, Web 2.0, colophon, remainder, tumblelog), I decided to expand on what I already have. So instead of having several separate blogs, I'll just have one blog that contains main entries, links, and maybe even pictures. Thus the creation of the links category. It's part of my main WordPress blog, which means it's searchable. I don't know why I didn't think of this before. #technology
