Added a side column called somewhere’lse which are links of sites or pages which I read about from other blogs or sites. Got the ideas from eclecticism post on how he created his Destinations page.
bq. Each post gets a normal title, the URL of the link goes in the main post body, and any descriptive text goes in the extended entry
All the links are in a new blog, and like how Wudi says it above, that’s how I put the links, the title and the description together.
In my case, as I also created individual pages for each entries to cater to comments/trackbacks, I use the MTEntryMore tags only for the individual archives, while for the leftside column, I make use of the MTEntryExcerpt that will contain less information.
And inorder to have the data from both blogs to appear both sides, I make use of this plugin called OtherBlog written by David Raynes . This allow me to port my MTTags and their relevant information from one side to the other.
You can see this in effect at the leftside drop-down menu for Archives by Categories which will also list the categories from somewhere’lse to the main blog and vice-versa.
Only con is that I’ve to rebuild both sides inorder for both sides to be updated accurately.
Now all I need is interesting links to fill up.
