getting linked up and hooked in - 100 links, 100 meaningful references

ok. so if this linkage thing is at all true then it would behoove me here to make mention of a number of other amazing people, places, and things that are on-line and rocking it and that i generally want to benefit. eh? [pause.] well, according to a post on the Vandelay Web Design blog (general, but worthy: "Using Outbound Links to Improve Your Blog") only positive reinforcement for the notion of adding links to your page and lists a number of benefits and strategies to help optimize outbound links (i'll let you read the blog itself for details, cuz I'd just end up plagiarizing this brief, but well-written text).

i realize that this is just one blog. and so i probably have more research to do - in time. but, i'm reassured for now. and so, i am going to begin a little journey here. i'm going to make a point of linking to at least one amazing page every time i blog from here out AND i'm going to do my utmost to follow all the right etiquette - foremost, the making darned sure that the link is meangingful to the current blog i'm working on (yay! i think i succeeded with this one today!). i will be cataloging this process by footnoting each post and counting off the number of references that i make. my goal will be modest at first - 100 links to hot, amazing places to go on the webernet. we'll see how it goes and move on from there.

shazam! and the...

footnote: i guess that makes ms. michelle #1 and ms. p dane #2 (as per my previous post). Vandelay Web Design will have to settle for an aging, hearty #3.
