Notes on running a link blog

The point of that article was to emphasize that blogging doesn’t have to be about unique insights. The value is in writing frequently and having something to show for it over time—worthwhile even if you don’t attract much of an audience (or any audience at all).

Simon Willison’s guidelines for running his link blog. I’m trying to start doing more of the same, and these seem well-considered.

  • Include the names of people involved (for credit and for discovery of connections to other projects)
  • Try to add something extra — protect against link rot!
  • Context as to why interesting / important
  • Link to similar concepts
  • Quote the transcript if a video
  • Original author should feel good about it
  • Prove you’ve read it
