That's the part that's a little confusing. But the link blogs alternate color, then immediately alternate again within the entry, since you’re excerpting the other URL.

I'm glad that the styling to indicate that these posts are different is working. :) Each blog entry, link blog or not, alternates color.

It may also be the fact that those posts immediately start off indented like a blockquote. When I first scanned the blog page, I thought the # entries were somehow comments on the post above it, and I was wondering which comments from the post were moved up, and why. The entry is indented, and immediately shifts from the current blog entry color to the opposite, sort of like comments. It’s mostly the huge size of the icon.

Brett-- Got a recommendation for an alternate icon? The hash symbol is fairly commonly used for links on sites I visit. Linking to the external entry rather than the internal entry seems to be standard practice on link blogs. My personal experience as a reader is that I like having the link go to the external site in my feed reader - so that's why I copied the style. :) Geof–

Part of my confusion may be "Around the Web" has that syle, but it's still a normal blog entry. In RSS it's pretty weird. I'm reading an entry from your blog, but if I click it I go somewhere else? I'm probably just not getting the linkblog concept, but it seems fairly strange.

The comment permalinks for linkblogged posts try to drive you to http://url.of/the/referred/link#comment-12345-from-WordPress, which isn't right; they need to be built on the URL from your permalink for discussion of the link's contents here. 2. Commenting on a linkblog post pushes you to this same permalink, which sends the user to the link after a comment. This is undoubtedly because WP 2.0.5+ has the POST of a comment return you to the permalink of the comment [which is ... awesome]. Thought I'd report this here rather than with an email so others will know that you know about it and you won't get 25 emails on it. ;) Alex: I’ve run into two related issues:

I tried to move my linkblog (www.midnightblog.com) off MT a while ago, but was stymied by the different handling of the <!--more-->tag. In MT I had the title in the tititle field, the link in the body field, and the commentary in the extendend entry field (which is a seperate field in the DB in MT. I'll be very interested in seeing how you did it with WP. Thanks, Tim Alex,
