I like having a links page

You can do what you want with your website and that’s what I (try) to do, that’s for sure. I stuck a music collection in here because why not? Yeh I’ve got a blog and an about page — y’know, the usual stuff — but the thing I really like is my links page.

Everything is so fragmented now and long gone are the days when you’d just pop your Twitter (RIP) handle on a conference lanyard or slide deck. It’s much harder for people to find you now.

What I’ve started doing is putting swop.link/andy on my conference slides (it’s not a rickroll, I promise). That redirects you to my links page. All I have to do now is keep that thing up to date.

Because it’s my website and I can do what I want with it, I put work links, personal links and ways you can support me. It’s cool. Websites are cool.
