As to the question of posting lots of links with little commentary, have you considered using a social bookmarking service like Delicious, where you can use a bookmarklet to post direct from your browser window and add as many tags or comments as you see fit (or none at all)? I'm sure I'm not the only Amygdala reader who would follow your Delicious RSS feed to see what you've been reading.

I appreciate that you might prefer not to have to point readers away from Amygdala, what with it having been the focus of your blogging for so long. As it turns out, Delicious has a feature (which they mark as 'experimental' despite it having been around for at least three or four years now) which allows you to tell Delicious your blog's login details and which will then, at a time of day you set up, post the latest bookmarks you've posted to Delicious to Amygdala for you. These automatically-generated posts would show up like any other post, keeping Amygdala ticking over inbetween the longer posts you'd write as you do now.

The only drawback I can see is that there doesn't seem to be any way to filter your Delicious bookmarks so as to exclude/include particular tags, so you would have to commit to using Delicious solely as a source of potential blog entries and forego using it to store non-blog items.

I've posted a screendump of the page where a Delicious user can set this up here. This post includes instructions on how a Blogspot user should fill in the fields.

I can't vouch for how well this blog-posting feature works in practice, but it looks as if it might make it easier for you to fill the gaps between your more substantive posts by simply pointing your readers to the stuff you've been reading online.

But I have been fairly unhappy for a very long time about how my output of more substantive posts has diminished and diminished, while I continue to read tons of stuff I think is fascinating, even if I don't have time/energy to write much of energy about most of it. Must get around to doing something about this, sooner or later.

Even as I type this, I could be Doing It Wrong!

I expect Meg (me)ish or someone is already working on a flow chart based on the above schema and then we'll all know what we're doing.

Seriously, I'd say that your site is about 65% linklog, 20% reviews and 15% online journal. (Why yes, I did pull those figures out of thin air? How did you guess?)

Given that the majority of your posts include links to other sites, albeit sometimes as a jumping-off point for your own thoughts on a topic, I think that your site still qualifies as a weblog as per footnote 1 above.
