Links

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

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).
