MLX has hit the key issue, but let me reiterate: The down side of merely linking is that your blog may or may not be long-lived; might have an address change or suffer a server crash. Any of those could, of course, happen here, but the Monastery's redundancy; other precautions; and established longevity suggest the possibility that a post here is apt to be long-lived.

MLX has also referred (tangentially) to what /me considers another show-stopper: some Monks who might comment on or benefit from your thoughts may not be willing to visit an unknown site in the age of malware.

So, why don't you update your post, above, by adding, with an appropriate "Update" note, the content you merely reference, as of this writing?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
