Since I started using a blog specifically for posting content that others have written that I find interesting (my link blog), I find that I am more discerning about what I actually write about. If the post does a good job explaining itself, then I don't need to add a comment to it, so it just goes to the link blog.

Because of that, I tend to write less posts (today being an exception). But I think the posts I do write are more thought out and written better. Of course, that's a matter of opinion. But I at least feel like what I do write is better than what I wrote before I started the link blog. Or at least provides more value. Before I would write something just to link to the other post, adding minimal input. Now, I just drop the post, and move on.

For this to work though, you have to also read the link blog, or you'll end up missing things that I normally would have pointed out here.
