A linklog is a blogging format where the post titles link directly to an external site and the content of the post offers commentary on the linked piece. This is commonly referred to as a "linked list" because of the The Daring Fireball Linked List which helped to popularize the format.

Writing a linklog in Octopress is quite easy (as of 2.1). Simply add an external-url to the yaml front matter of a blog post and Octopress does the rest.
