Linklog

Ok here's the deal - I find links daily which fit RFB. However I do not have time to think up pithy context for them. I would like to have some way of managing a link list. If I had that tool I would be posting daily to the site. As it is my longish posts get lost in my lack of time and end up as drafts.

I don't know if this is possible or not. I like the way that Kottke mixes longish posts with his remaindered list. I don't mind offering my TypePad functionality to manging such a list. But if possible I think this would be a nice addition to the site and would certainly increase my posting frequency.

That's no problem, I think. Just need to figure out if it should be just a separate category, a separate blog, or hosted elsewhere as with your typepad idea (but then embedded how, exactly? easiest if its in rss and can be mtrssfeed-ed into place).

I'd replace the Memewatch List in the current design with an RFB linklog (needs a cool name?) that we could all post our quickies too. Fine to have it folded in the main stream a la Kottke - have to decided if we want category-specific formatting. That might not be too hard with stylesheets and concatenated stylesheet attribute names, or with PHP.
