We Have Link Posts Now
Going forward there will be a new post type on C33: The Link Post.
This change won’t make much of a difference to readers, but will allow me to post more frequently and comment on various items that aren’t worthy for a full post.
Link posts will show on the home page (but not in related or featured story lists) and their headlines will link out to the external referenced source. For example, this post links out to the excellent, but still on sabatical, Kottke.org’s link archive.
That is all. Expect more of these kinds of posts going forward!
