Please don’t make the post title the actual link to an article when using the Link Post format. It prevents me from linking to you and it’s not the behaviour I’m expecting. I’m excepting to click the link to read comments or such on the post but because the title acts as a link, I pretty much have no way of getting there. It’s a frustrating experience and that’s why I agree with Mike!

I already replied to the hackers thread, but since content is reproduced here I wanted to weigh in quickly in this space as well.

If a link post is a blog post, then you and Mike are 100% correct. If a link post allows comments, sharing, and other blog post-type features, then the title links should take me to that post.

But if a link post is really a link - as in a bookmark to external content, then I think making the title point to the content is the right way to go. If I'm linking to a 3rd party, then I want you to link to that third party ... not to me. It's a hassle to link to a link to a link to great content. You lose readers with every click, and if my post is really a bookmark I don't want people commenting on it anyway.
