It’s Thursday once again! And you know what that means–no, not time for me to shower… that’s every second Sunday. It’s time for Link Love!

This week I have some new posts and a cool gadget to mention. So lets get started.

Does your blog annoy people? - Well, I’m not sure, but I hope it doesn’t!

A Perfect Editorial Calendar for Your Desk - It really is. A magnificent piece of paper, plastic… or whatever it is made out of.

Link a Dink plugin - A really awesome WP plugin. Within the admin section you can set WordPress to automatically set certain words to link somewhere. Could be a creative way to sell advertising or link to past posts.

Building a .com in 24 hours - Nah, not really the visitors. But, it helps bring out the know-how of buying a domain, setting up the server and uploading content. Good walk-through IMO.

Problogger’s Interview with Entrecard’s Graham Langdon - I’ve talked about Entrecard a few times, and ran a contest.

Networking - How Much Is Too Much? - I’ve been known to do this. MySpace, Facebook, Yahoo Mash, Twitter, and of course Friendster when it was popular. Hell, I even used Xanga for a while as a networking tool. I even own a somewhat poetry networking site. Maybe I should cut down? Eh. Well, MySpace does suck donkey balls. At least I haven’t done much there recently.

Saphrym gives his account why Renting a car sucks. Man, I remember when I was younger, everyone had a station wagon. It was the thing to do. Hell, I tried begging my parents to buy one.

By now, you’ve probably heard of the cool Blog Readability Test, but there’s one problem with it. It doesn’t tell you why a certain site is high school level or elementary level. A cool alternative is the Readability test.
