A blog is nothing without its links, and in my way of thinking, it's
nothing but its links.
I know: I've maintained my blog for seven years now.
What I'm really doing with my blog is making notes for myself that I can refer back to later.
It's not journalism, it's note-taking.
Below, is a chronology of the
197 links I posted or cribbed in 2006. And speaking of "cribbed," I took this paragraph directly from the year-end reviews of the last
four years. In 2006, my posting frequency declined rather sharply, to an all-time low... maybe I'm blog-jumping the shark, but I don't think so... I'm just pacing myself.
I posted
400 links in 2005,
349 links in 2004, and
339 links in 2003. Previously, my posting frequency was on a downward spiral, from an all-time high of
788 links in 2000, when blogging was still young and free of all the inevitable marketing and monetization hype,
589 links in 2001, and
473 links in 2002. Less linking, to better (and more uncommon) sources, and yet there still seems to be an awful lot of linkrot occuring. What's the deal? When something goes online it should stay there forever, or why bother posting it in the first place?
In a disposable world, the man who can stay permanent will be king.
