 Free Link
Well, since love is out ("all you need is love..."), I guess I'll have to focus on links, instead. Speaking of links, in a posting earlier this week, I didn't link to the webloggers that I referenced, and I noticed that AKMA did that in some recent postings, as did Mike Golby. A big benefit from all of this is that the writing flows so much more nicely without all the underlines or bolded or contrasting color text. Seems to me that when referencing a weblogger in a generic sense, just using the person's tag line or name (or however they're addressed in the blogroll), should be enough. If addressing a specific post, then it makes sense to link to that posting. Yeah, this isn't the war on Iraq or a writing of great beauty, but damn, that's all I have at the moment. (I guess I'll have to alpha my list if I do this. Sigh.) All you need is links, all you need is links, Posted by Bb at August 21, 2002 10:43 PM Comments
Good distinction. Now, to keep it in mind... darn rules. Can't live with them, can't etc. Posted by: Frankzilla on August 21, 2002 10:57 PMI didn't mean not to link--but Ive been very distracted this summer. Now I have to go back and look. . . . Posted by: AKMA on August 22, 2002 04:27 AMOh, I see. This morning I composed the posts, figuring I'd go back and link 'em when I was done writing--but then I forgot to go back. That really was bad form on my part, since those pasts are part of an extended argument (they would be missed by a Threadneedle--what? "Thread" is redundant, and misses the extent to which all these series of posts are spun together from many threads--so, "yarn"?). But I'll note that this is an emendation. And now that I'm OS X-active, I'll have to learn some Unix myself. . . . Posted by: AKMA on August 22, 2002 04:32 AMAKMA, I'm batting a thousand this week... My preference is a ThreadNeedle "discussion". And you'll like the integration between Unix and Mac with Mac OS X. And now Jaguar's on its way. New toy.
