Hi guys, I have a quick question regarding the best way to organise this. Im using MySQL by the way.

I want to associate urls with an object Im storing in my database, similar to a blog post that can have a number of external urls. There would be max maybe 5 or 6 links per post, but usually 2 or 3.  
Would you recommend creating a “urls” table, and using a join table to link the urls to my blog post, or would you recommend just adding a varchar field to my blog post and use a delimiter between each url I want to associate with the blog post. I don’t need to search on the url field or anything fancy like that.
