NOTE: This is part 1 of a 7-part series that describes the main types of blog posting formats. See the index to this series for the complete list.

In a link-only posting, the blogger simply posts a link – perhaps with a few words of context.

Example: Here’s an individual link-only post: Just a Link. Also, the link-only format also is the hallmark of the social bookmarking service del.icio.us (which in some ways functions like a blog, or a blog adjunct, for its users).

While this format offers some considerable advantages, generally it’s not a good idea for bloggers to rely heavily on it…

ADVANTAGES: Fast and Easy
