I’m trying a little something different with the links today in an effort to get me (and you) adjusted to what I hope will become the style for an eventual site redesign that probably won’t happen for a while, since it takes me forever to do everything.

So instead of doing a links-dump post like I normally do, I’m going to try quoting snippets of interesting links and weighing in on them, which I tried to do with the John Harper piece below. Of course, with that one I ended up writing several hundred words, which is pretty much a proper blog post, and so, you know, link fail.

Let me know if this pisses you off.

Based on a survey of an incredibly small sample of readers (my wife) I felt like a lot of the links were getting glossed over, plus I spent a lot of time every morning scouring for a few last links. Also, I end up linking a lot of sites a lot of you probably read anyway, without really adding anything.

This should let me space out content a little more, save me some time for thinking about what to write about in greater detail, give me space to weigh in on more stuff, and ideally provide more interesting fodder for thought for you, the TedQuarters reader.

Oh, plus it should allow for more non-Mets stuff. When did this become exclusively a Mets blog? That was never supposed to be the plan?

Of course, I reserve the right to go back to the old format if this one doesn’t work out.
