OPML Zettelkasten Update – Day 13

Added over 10 links today for my ZK file, new links in Mastodon, Blogging, and Writing, and added Agriculture and Directories categories. I reorganized the Podcasting section into Resources and History subsections to group the links better. There are 143 links in the OPML ZK, more than 10 links a day on average – wow! I also updated the Blogging category on my Hugo ZK site, still need to finish migrating the OPML content over. Also on the to-do list – playing with XSLT style sheets to view the OPML content by tags. However, the full ZK file list still looks pretty good.

OPML Zettelkasten Update – Day 12

Added over 10 links in today for my ZK file, new links in Mastodon, and added Software Engineering, Programming, and Music categories. I am really working on trying to clear out tabs from my daily browsing by using my ZK, so far I am keeping up!

OPML Zettelkasten Update – Day 6

Still managed to add over 10 links again to my ZK file (open tabs and some old links). As I have been going through my old links, I find that not all of them are worth saving – I guess that is a consequence of review/curation. I was able to get a start on a Hugo-based ZK site (see it in action here). I was able to get the Activism section added, will probably migrate one section a day. I will be creating a document soon on the setup.

A reader has suggested another ZK tool – Zettelstore – I will take a look at that soon.

OPML Zettelkasten Update – Day 5

I was able to add over 10 links again to my ZK file (open tabs and from some searching to answer a question). I created two sub-categories under the Tools category, will see how that goes. I thought some about social bookmarking site Pinboard, and did some searching to see if there were other sites like it (that maybe I could use as a model or example), but this page was typical (Twitter/Pinterest/etc). That was not the thing I had in mind – oh well. I am still planning on duplicating the ZK OPML file using Markdown files and Hugo, will keep you posted

OPML Zettelkasten Update – Day 4

I was able to add over 10 links today to my ZK file (today from my big link list and some open tabs). I created at least two more categories, and I like seeing my ZK growing. If I keep up this pace, I will have over 300 links in a month organized by categories and tags. Still ahead: duplicating the ZK using Markdown files and Hugo, and also playing with XSLT files to transform my OPML ZK into a tag-based ZK. I hope to make some progress on this during the weekend!

Another thought: when I started a work weblog, it was work at first. Once I got into the swing of things (adding more content), it became more and more useful. As I have been blogging more over the past two weeks, I find I am linking back to previous posts where I have “done some digging” in the past. My point is this – what you get out of something depends on what you put into it. Adding 10 links a day to my ZK seems doable, and I am creating a resource for myself (and others) that will be useful in the future.
