Dag-nammit - I was just investigating how much work it would take to do the same thing on my blog framework! (Not five minutes before I read this in fact). Unfortunately my blog is such a crufty mass of badly designed classes and half arsed design anti-patterns that it would probably be easier just to switch to WordPress.

Oh, it was a piece of cake... my only problems have been with HTML and CSS Matt's idea of using the category to mark which entries are links was a good one. All it took was the addition of a category and a change to my template.

Of course, I'm going to need to give myself some kind of easy bookmarklet-style post interface now

Strange you should mention this.

I am currently playing with Matt's suggestions in my test WordPress Blog (link not provided), except that I want to go a step further by creating a separate feed for the linkblog (I am thinking Atom since it appears to have the ability to group related items together).

Re: a separate feed for the linkblog... WordPress doesn't have the ability to create a category-specific RSS feed?

WordPress offers an Atom Feed as part of its template but I think I will need to hack the code to provide a separate feed based on the Category ID.

The issue for me is that in order to take advantage of some of the features which I notice are being offered by Atom, I may have to add more tables to the wordpress database because I don't want to parse an entry with regexp. This is non-issue with RSS though.
