I was creating link posts on http://www.bilalakil.me’s Twenty Fourteen happily 
until I was nonplussed by the doppelgängers that made themselves apparent 
when I added the theme’s also-impressive Euphoria widget to the mix, displaying links.
I was seeing the same posts displayed twice on the front page: 
once in the main post loop; and again in the Euphoria widget!
To solve this problem I decided to exclude posts with the link post format 
from the post index page’s main query, 
and thus this plugin was born.
The plugin’s settings sit neatly on the Settings > Reading page.
You can find this plugin at: https://bitbucket.org/bilalakil/formataway
