Oh my stars!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Edited to clarify something…
Suzanne asked…How do you keep track of
theother people’s blog posts you want to link to in your own blog posts?
My love for Google Reader is well-documented all over this blog 
Just put Google Reader in that little search field up above my banner and you’ll see what I mean. Scary stuff!
However, I don’t use Google stars. If you do and you love it, please convince me…
My answer is…it depends.
1. There are some posts that I want to keep for quite some time. These are rare so I’ll bookmark them on my computer by pressing Ctrl + D. Things that fall into this category are usually tutorial-type posts that have lots of steps or those “50 best productivity blogs”-type posts.
2. The other type of post that I just want to link to in my own blog posts I store in a document (if I’m in productive mode) or in an Outlook draft (if I’m feeling lazy).
I’ll type something like this…
Suzanne’s self-audit (I like to be very descriptive because after a few days, it’s not always easy to remember why I want to keep track of it)
with the link underneath

Then when I actually sit down to write my posts, I’ll do all my linking up and it’s all easy-peasy!
This works for me.
What works for you?
