Ditch Linktree: Build a Link Page That Lives Where You Work
Stop managing another disconnected app. Here's how to build a link-in-bio page with Blend's Bookmark Block that updates in seconds and looks great.
You have a Linktree. Or a Beacons page. Or a Carrd. Or some half-finished "link in bio" you set up six months ago and haven't touched since.
Here's the problem with every one of them: they're another app. Another tab. Another login. Another place you have to remember to go when you want to add a link.
You update your link page maybe twice a year because updating it feels like a chore. So visitors land on a page where half the links are outdated and one of them goes nowhere.
There's a better way.
What if your link page lived where you work?
Blend's Bookmark Block lets you build a curated collection of links that looks polished, loads fast, and takes about three minutes to set up. Then you make the blend public, and that's your link page.
No separate tool. No extra subscription. No dashboard you have to remember to log into. The links live right next to everything else you're working on, so updating them is as natural as editing a note.
Here's how to build it.
Step 1: Create a new blend
Open Blend and create a new blend. Call it something that makes sense, like "Links," "My Work," or just your name. This will be the page people see when they follow your link.
If you want more than just links, add a Text Block above your Bookmark Block with a short bio. Some people include their name, what they do, and one line about who they help. That's all you need.
Pick a theme you love before you make this public. Themes take about five seconds to apply and make a big difference. Your link page represents you, so it should look like you.
Step 2: Add a Bookmark Block
Click the plus button to add a new Block and choose Bookmark Block.
Now start adding your links. Paste in a URL and Blend automatically pulls the page title and favicon. You don't have to type anything by hand. Just paste, confirm the title looks right, and move on.
Add as many links as you want. Common ones people include:
- Personal website or portfolio
- Most recent project or launch
- Social profiles (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube)
- Newsletter sign-up
- A way to contact you (booking link, contact form, or email page)
- Something you're currently building or reading
You can reorder links by dragging them. Put your most important link first.
Blend's Bookmark Block auto-fetches titles and favicons when you paste a URL. If a title comes in looking odd (like a generic "Home" or a raw URL), click it and type what you actually want it to say.
Step 3: Make the blend public
Click the share icon on your blend. Toggle the blend to public. Blend generates a unique, unguessable read-only link.
Copy that link. That is your new link-in-bio URL.
Anyone who clicks it can browse your bookmarks, see your bio, and follow links to your work. They don't need a Blend account. They can't edit anything.
The public link doesn't change when you update your blend. Once someone has your link, they'll always see the latest version. No need to update your Instagram bio every time you add a new link.
Step 4: Drop it in your bio
Paste your Blend public link into your Instagram bio, Twitter/X bio, LinkedIn profile, email signature, or wherever you send people.
Done. That's your link page.
Why this beats a standalone link-in-bio tool
The reason most Linktree pages go stale is that updating requires a separate trip. You've got to remember the site, log in, find your links, make the edit, save. It's not hard, but it's just enough friction that you skip it.
With blend, you update your links in the same moment you're thinking about it. You're already in your blend. You just launched something. You add the link right there. The public page reflects it immediately.
No publishing step. No "save and republish." You edit the Bookmark Block and it's live.
Make it richer with a Text Block
If you want more than a list of links, add a Text Block above your Bookmark Block. Text Blocks support rich formatting: headings, bold text, and inline images.
Use it to write a short intro. Who you are, what you do, what someone should click first. Think of it as a mini landing page, not just a link list.
You can also use multiple Bookmark Blocks to group your links by type. One block for social profiles. One for projects. One for resources you recommend. This kind of grouping is harder to do in Linktree without a paid plan. In Blend, it's just adding another Block.
The bigger picture
Most people use Linktree because it's fast to set up. That part is true. But once it's set up, it sits alone, disconnected from your actual work.
Your blend doesn't have that problem. Your link page lives in the same place as your notes, tasks, and bookmarks. When your work changes, your link page changes with it, because they're in the same place.
That's the point of context-first organization: one canvas per subject. Everything about how you present yourself to the world on one page, instead of scattered across five different apps.
Try building your link page in Blend. It takes three minutes, it looks good, and you'll actually keep it updated.
