As you can see, I’ve decided to integrate the Quicklinks feature (previously found in the sidebar) into the main content section of my blog. There are several reasons for this. First, it was causing some problems with the search engines. When the quicklinks were in the sidebar they were generated on every page of my site; the search engines would archive these pages, but since these links change on a regular basis people would be led to a random page where that content was no longer available. From my referrer stats I can see this happened often. Also, posting the links here gives me more space to elaborate on something I find, but don’t feel like writing a full-fledged entry on. You can also comment on these links now, if you feel so inclined. Plus, all the cool kids have done it.
I used Matt’s Asides technique to accomplish this.
