I looked around real quick to see if I could find out what to do to make a new header image for the Kubrick theme here (the corners are a bit of a bitch).
A quick google search brought up a link on the wordpress site itself. I thought “well, that’s convenient”. So I followed the link. That page didn’t directly list the link, but yielded another link in the “related posts” area. That link brought me to another site. That site finally listed the link I was looking for.
So, I had to see 3 mostly unrelated pages to get the final page with the content I originally searched for. Why do bloggers and websites in general do this? Link to a link of a link? I see it in little blogs, all the way up to Lifehacker, Wired, and Digg. Link to a link of a link.
Why don’t we just link the final content? I can understand if you have to see Joe Somebody’s scathing commentary of the subject. But linking to only increase page hits? Come on internets!
(btw, here’s the final link to the header image generator: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/blogheader.php )
