Matt: I’ve noticed you have quite a few of these types of blogs lately….one-liners with a link to somewhere else. Is it really blogging, or are you just posting links?
Lately? He’s been doing it ferever. It’s not really anyone’s place to tell anyone else how to blog though — everyone adapts their own style. I guess this style works for Matt. There’s no rule book.
Turnip: True. It was more of a remark than an instruction anyway – I don’t tell people how to blog. The question mark (‘?’) in my comment lets Matt know that it was only a question… # nudge #
Also, Matt has got to be the busiest guy on the planet. He has so much on his plate between CNet, a myriad of WordPress related projects and his participation with WaSP. The only plus I think he has going for him in that department is that he isn’t married or have a kid, AFAIK.

Like Turnip says – forever 🙂
Podz: So Matt’s site is actually a ‘Linklog’ (Matt’s own words) then and not a Weblog?
Most folks separate the two, entries and links.
Matt’s is integrated into a single stream. (although obviously still flagged, since the short entries display without the title on your homepage…)
Matt R – that is a distinction for Matt to make, not me. Though, no I would not say so.
I prefer the short list of pointers. I would have lost interest if it was too lengthy and hence rarely updated.
Actually, the original use for “weblogs” was for posting links to the internet. Only more recently have they become journals as well as “blogs”.
Mike + Podz + Roy + Dan: Thanks for your comments guys! 🙂
WP-Plugins.org is far too confusing to understand :\
