Hyperlinks, history, writing for the web

April 4th, 2004 · No Comments

Must-read for Anglophiles: Suw Charman (Chocolate and Vodka) evokes the weight of history in Britain. Her essay* is lovely in itself and makes generous use of hyperlinks to information on various places she mentions.

It’s amazing how much hyperlinks add to the texture and usefulness of non-fiction.

Another place that really gets hyperlinks right: the Pepys Diary blog.

Footnotes? Bah, humbug (except for my footnote, below.) Long live the hyperlink!


* Suw’s article appears in the exciting new travel-history-culture-food-fusion blog from Tom Bridge and Robert Daeley—-Four Corners–I really recommend it.
