I like occasional link salad, but unlike my lunch salads, I try to limit the ingredient list to 5 or so. And I like what Matt Bell said.

5 I think is a solid decision. Some can get overwhelming.

I so feel this, they can really be hit or miss for me! There are some I read, but most I ignore. I'm glad mine have been interesting though! 🥰

I used to have a section in my newsletter for this sort of thing called T-Rex. I did only a few issues before I stopped. It was a lot of work, and while people said they liked them, they just weren't performing very well and took a lot of time away from writing.

So I guess you could say I like the idea of them, but as a rule, I just skip them.

I love the name T-Rex for that though!

Thanks 😊 I thought it was mildly clever 😏😄 I still use it for one off reviews.

No to link salads! They make my eyes glaze over, and I'd much rather read one well-written article.

That is def how I used to be, but I’ve gotten more into them lately.
