Links

I look at Anil Dash's links log daily now and decided to kick up one of my own partially to give people a glimpse of what I'm looking at day to day, but mostly because I need a way to keep track of all these links.

Anyhow, I implemented my links "blog" as a category under my current blog. In that category directory, I tossed a different set of templates so that it's more "minimal" (inspired by what Anil does with his link blog). Then I used the filter plugin from the Pyblosxom registry so that I could "hide" the links blog entries from my main site (I figure it'd be too spammy).

Took me maybe 10 minutes to implement the whole thing--5 of which were used to update the filter plugin from the one at the link to something that works with Pyblosxom 1.0.1 (soon to be released).

Link to my links blog.

Is it possible to show the links blog as a sideblog on the main page?

Yeah...  I guess I could if I wanted to.  But I'm not really sure I want to.  There's a lot of stuff on that side already--most of it of dubious interest.  Maybe I will change my mind as I think about it some--we shall see.

Sorry, but the links at your "links blog" are empty.

This is the html of the first one:


<li><a href="">CD Baby</a><br />
A wonderful online store ...


<li><a href="">Imagination</a><br />

Ups! I escaped the hmtl, but it looks like your comments system does it again.

So this is the html of your links page:

<li>CD Baby
A wonderful online store for independent artists.
</li>
<li>Imagination
This is the latest ...

Fantastic! I had the same problem, but without a solution... :-P

Thanks, Will!

Whoops!  I fixed the links on the link blog.  Kind of silly to have a link blog where the links don't work.  Thanks xxsmith!  :p


Post a new comment:

Three things:

  1. New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Sometimes that happens within 24 hours.
  2. I reserve the right to reject/remove inappropriate comments.
  3. Sometimes I'll reply to a comment directly in email--so make sure your email address is correct.

If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.

Your name:


Your e-mail address (this doesn't get displayed to anyone--sometimes I'll reply directly to you):


URL of your website (optional):
