#! code: Drupal 11: Building A Link Directory: Part 1
A problem I've been struggling with for a while now is managing my bookmarks. Every time I come across an interesting article I want to read, a good resource I want to keep, or a neat tool I want to try I create a bookmark.
Over time I have collected a large collection of bookmarks so when I add a new one to the list it gets lots in the pile. I've tried to create directories to keep "new" bookmarks or organise them into sections, but I always end up scrabbling to find them.
The problem is that web browsers don't allow you to categorise or search bookmarks so I can never find them again. Also when I swap browsers (which I have done twice this year) I end up having to migrate them over and set up synchronising between computers. This always removes the favicons of the sites so I have even more trouble finding the right link.
After losing yet another bookmark again recently I decided to do something about it. I realised that #! code was the best place for it as I'm always logged into the site, so I set about creating a link directory on the site. I didn't just want a big list of links though. In my mind a good link directory takes a screenshot of the site when the link is created so that it is easy to see what links are there from the screenshot of the original site.
In this article I will go through how I set up the link directory, how links are added, and how the site is able to take screenshots of the links as they are added to the directory.
Creating The Link Content Type
To store the links I created a content type called "Link" and added a few fields to it.

Freelock Blog: The Night the Internet Tried to Kill Your Website
The Night the Internet Tried to Kill Your Website John Locke
The rain had been falling on the city for weeks.
Not real rain. The kind that falls on the internet - a constant drumbeat of probes, scans, and automated fists rattling every doorknob on every block, every hour of the day. Most people don't hear it. That's fine. That's what we're here for.
My name doesn't matter. Call me the op. I run a small shop - we keep websites alive, patch the holes before the wrong people find them, and make sure that when something goes sideways, there's always a way back. It's not glamorous work. But this spring? This spring was something else.

The Drop Times: Mike Gifford Says Accessibility Must Be Built Into Workflows Before AI Scales Bad Patterns
Drupal Core Accessibility Maintainer Mike Gifford says organisations risk accelerating inaccessible digital experiences when accessibility remains dependent on isolated advocates instead of embedded governance systems. Speaking as part of The DropTimes' continuing Global Accessibility Awareness Day coverage, Gifford argued that sustainable accessibility depends on integrating accountability, workflows, testing, and organisational culture directly into development infrastructure before automated systems amplify poor practices at scale.
