You always have great stuff to link to.

Some great resources. I’m particularly interested in that aLinks plugin mentioned in the Internal Linking post. I plan to have a comprehensive glossary of type terms on my own site, and this could be really useful in linking oft-used terms to the glossary. Thanks!

johno: I haven’t tried the aLinks plugin yet but it’s on my “to-do” list. One could find many uses for this plugin including as a possible replacement for something like Kontera.
