The way I did it is to have a category called "linklog", and put posts 
in there. I don't use categories on kryogenix.org, though, so this might 
be problematic if you do. I also invented a new file type: posts in the 
linklog directory are in files called <number>.curly, and each file has 
five lines: link text, link URL, snarky comment, referrer text, referrer 
URL. I then added a parser for .curly files, and created an RSS feed for 
the whole set. The front page of my site then subscribes to the RSS feed 
and displays the most recent 10 posts therein.

There is probably a better way of doing this. In particular, I'd be 
interested in the best way to do this, rather than my way, and some 
thoughts on how to have a linklog on a weblog with categories 
implemented (because I'd like to have categories, and I'd like to get 
away a little from the huge mess of customisations that keeps 
kryogenix.org running).
