Is it possible to indicate posts that are just a link with little actual text?

Can you provide a screenshot or example of what you mean?

I don’t have a specific implementation in mind, @codinghorror.

Just something in the list of posts to indicate the ones that are link only. Could be a chain link symbol or “(link)” at the end of the title.

Have you thought about using something like

That’s neat, but not quite the use case.

Some users are not interested opening link posts while others are.

On second though, maybe. It would be user driven though. (they would need to assign the category).

Create a tag link-post, use some special CSS for this tag?
