I’ve been considering switching to Del.icio.us to manage my quicklinks, rather than posting them directly into my weblog. Since switching to WordPress, I’ve had to fudge my quicklinks as a blog category rather than posting them to a separate blog (since WP can’t do multiple blogs), which calls for some messy templating.

But if I switch to Del.icio.us, should I display the links as a sidebar on my blog or try to integrate them into a daily digest entry (example)? It may seem silly to replicate the information, but a) I don’t want to lose the links if del.icio.us shuts down and b) I want to be able to search through all my entries and links in one place.

I feel much the same way about Flickr. I’ve only posted a few of the photos I’ve uploaded to Flickr as weblog entries — the rest have come and gone on the sidebar. I guess I have some control issues and don’t like the idea of content not being stored in my CMS.
