A painting of me

A History of Link Blogs. ⇒

   28 February 2013, early morning

An excellent retrospective on the rise and fall and rise of the link blog. I copied Kottke and started posting my del.icio.us links on my site around 2004 as well. As Daragh mentions in the article, this sort of thing used to be fairly complex. (My post on how I first did it reads kind of crazy now. Even now, to get my links and posts displayed the way they are on this site is more work then you would think it would be.)

This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.

  1. Seems so friggin’ long ago, doesn’t it? And, I guess it was.

  2. Yeah, it’s crazy. 2004 is almost a decade.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
