Mir ist aufgefallen, dass ich ziemlich häufig auf instant-thinking selbst, verschiedene Wikipedia-Artikel oder auf Flickr-Bilder verlinke.

In Doku-Wikis¹ werden interne und externe Links mit unterschiedlichen Icons markiert und da dachte ich mir, dass es eine gute Idee wäre so etwas auch für dieses Blog einzuführen. Auf diese Art und Weise können Leser die bestimmte Begriffe schon kennen, es sich sparen den Link anzuklicken. Sie erhalten die Information “Das ist ein Wikipedia-Artikel”, durch ein kleines “W” direkt neben dem Link, ohne extra über den Link hovern zu müssen. Durch die gleiche Technik, etwa ein Flickr-F, sind auch andere Arten von Links sofort zu erkennen und machen das Lesen der Posts leichter.

Bei der Gelegenheit fiel mir auch auf, dass instant-thinking noch gar kein Favicon besitzt, welches man schön als Indikator für interne Links verwenden könnte. Also musste das auch noch rasch hergestellt werden.

Also ist folgende, durchaus übersichtliche, ToDo zu bearbeiten:

1. Favicon entwerfen und einbinden
2. Link-Icons implementieren

Wie schwierig kann das schon sein?
