Permalinking

Occasionally I run across blogs I’d like to follow, but they make it hard to point my readers to the bits that particularly interested me.  But I’m not going to add this blog to my list for reading regularly, because half the value of good stuff I read is the ability to easily point others to it and find the importants bits again, myself.  It would be too frustrating to keep finding stuff I’d like to write about, but would have trouble pointing to in a non-broken or non-lasting way.  The same goes for some online newspapers and other online sources.

Also, I know I like linking to entries that have actual words in them, not like links to my entries that have ?p=12.  They just don’t look long-lasting, even if I know they’ll stick around.  Yet, some people have already come across my journal here (before any publicity pushes; I think it was mostly because of comments I’d made on their journals) and even linked back to it — yay, I’m glad, but it does mean I have to think carefully about any changes I make now.
