Running a link blog since 2003, Simon Willison shares his methods for publishing “blogmarks” with titles, URLs, commentary, and crediting authors. After upgrading to Markdown, he emphasizes creating enriching content through context, quotations, and related links while ensuring a personal touch. Technically, his blog operates on Django, featuring a search function and draft mode, while he also publishes a weekly newsletter. He encourages more link sharing, viewing it as a valuable internet contribution amid prevalent social media algorithms.
