Links Plus Plus

The title, while riddled with layers of computer science puns, is actually very descriptive. I have added plus signs to links, to make the site less confusing. If you click on the title of a post it will take you to the single post page just as it does with normal posts. If you want to visit the link I am talking about, just click the plus sign. I think this is an improvement and makes things more consistent. Let me know what you think.

I totally love the new plus plus. However, the link posts should still be more distinguished from a regular post. Like maybe the title is black, and the plus sign is red.

This is a good idea, but I agree with Luke that regular posts and links could still be more distinguished.

While I see what you both are saying and will consider other options, at this point I disagree. Right now the layout is consistent. If you click a title, it takes you to the single/comment page. If you click a plus sign, it takes you to the link. Anywhere in the site you know if you click a post title you are going to the post.

I think changing colors of certain post links would be confusing, because both the links would do the same thing (take you to the post page).

Also, the plus is not conducive for those reading via RSS aggregator.

That is actually a very good point. I should put an actual anchor tag within the post.
