Wanting to link Instagram posts to journal entries, I came up with a scheme. I purchased grlu.us as my short link URL, and I will just add whatever I want to the end of it to make the link. I figure using the date is the most logical, so for today, it would be https://grlu.us/20220918, placed for now at the bottom, right of each entry. I could also use the title or some derivation of. I can then place this shorter URL directly in Instagram posts or wherever else I want to use it. I’m going to do this manually for now, but there appear to be self-hosted software solutions for this very thing. I’ll have to investigate. Also, I wonder if I could somehow tie this into an RSS feed? That might be worth looking into.
