Howard Bashman at How Appealing has been discussing how bloggers now can utilize the more permanent New York Times links available through the RSS feed so that links do not disappear behind the New York Times’ archive wall. You can read his remarks here and here. For those who would like to take advantage of the more permanent links but do not utilize a news aggregator, please take note of the New York Times Link Generator. Read more about Link-Rot in this post at CalPundit.
I will be utilizing the more permanent links here in the future.
UPDATE: I have added a permanent parking spot for the New York Times Link Generator in the column over on the right. (Scroll down.) For links that have already gone defunct, the only way that I know of to obtain the original link (so as to be able to insert it into the Link Generator) is to view the original source code for the blog post and extract it that way. If other techie-types know of a better way, please let me know.
