<p>17 years ago the famous blogger John Gruber, of <a href="https://daringfireball.net">Daring Fireball</a> fame, introduced the concept of
|
||
a “link log”/”linkblog”:<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/09/experimenting-with-link-posts/#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup></p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>New feature at Daring Fireball: the Linked List, a daily list of interesting links and brief commentary on DF-related topics, updated frequently but not frenetically. Call it a “link log”, or “linkblog”, or just “a good way to dick around on the Internet for a few minutes a day”.</p>

||

|

<p>I’ve been a long-time reader of “Daring Fireball” and I always liked how
|
||
John was sharing his perspective on things he found interesting. That’s why when
|
||
I recently <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/01/switching-to-minimal-mistakes/">migrated my blog to Minimal Mistakes</a>, I was happy to find out that Minimal Mistakes <a href="https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/post%20formats/post-link/">supports link posts natively</a>.<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/09/experimenting-with-link-posts/#fn:2" rel="footnote">2</a></sup> Inspiration acquired!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I’ve been experimenting with them recently (e.g. <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/06/no-hello/">No Hello</a>) and I like the results so far. I’ve also realized that link logs are the ultimate (public) bookmarks - I don’t know about you but I rarely bother to browse my browser bookmarks; it’s way more likely that I’ll revisit my blog archive.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>There’s no shortage of topics that I’m interested in, and I’m quite opinionated
|
||
in most of them, so expect to see more “link log”-style of articles from me
|
||
going forward. Don’t worry, though! I don’t plan to write 5-10 of them each day, so I
|
||
won’t be introducing a separate feed for those. Until next (link) post!</p>

<p>I’ve always thought of those as “link posts”. <a class="reversefootnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/09/experimenting-with-link-posts/#fnref:1">↩</a></p>

<p>It’s not hard to implement this in a any Jekyll theme, though. Here’s <a href="https://danromero.org/jekyll-linklog.html">an example</a>. Seems I was just too lazy to ever bother doing it. <a class="reversefootnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/09/experimenting-with-link-posts/#fnref:2">↩</a></p>
