I switched to del.icio.us for quick link posting. My linkroll is published as http://del.icio.us/olifante, subscribable as http://del.icio.us/rss/olifante. Publishing your linkroll to your blog is easy as pie: just add a javascript snippet (http://del.icio.us/help/linkrolls) to your blog and you’ve got instant integration of quick links with more verbose blogging, regardless of your blogging platform.

Hehe … sort of a play on that. Well, now that I’ve got everything migrated over to a nice sensible “links” URL path, I can decide whether I warm back up to Dinky Links or another name with more character than “Red Sweater Links.” But boy was that stupid to place the word “dinky” in the original URL.

The problem with deciding, implementing, and undeciding in the course of 12 hours is everything feels very uncertain!

I like the name. “Shrinky Dinks”, was it? =)

Thanks, Eric. I think it’s cute, too. But it just started to feel wrong for the site. And it rhymes with stinky :)

I actually liked the name. Not that I have anything against the new name, but Dinky Links is cute.

Mike! Thanks for the link – I need to check that out. I admit that I hoped blogging about this would pull some obvious solutions out of the woodwork. I had looked around casually but hadn’t found anything well suited to the task. I think part of the problem is describing what it is I want. I’m very intrigued by Reblog and especially its alleged bookmarklet style input. Looking forward to playing with it.

Hopefully a 1.1 update of my setup will benefit from it. And I’m already tired of the name “Dinky Links.”

As a compulsive spewer-forth of one line posts that link to something cool, I just want to say that I think this is a terrific development :)
