Rules Police

I'm asking everyone who posts at OurBlogIsDifferent to stop posting entire articles from outside sources.

The associated commentary, a link, a title, and even the leading paragraph or summary are fine. I just think the whole thing clogs up the blog and the hosting site doesn't get the internet traffic that pays their bills, which is more important for small sites than mega-sites like CNN.com. Also, hyperlinking the web-addresses would be nice. To do that, select the words you want and click on the icon in the toolbar that looks like a green glob with a chain on top of it and then paste in the actual http address.

Sorry to pick on you, Scott, but this applies to everyone. If anyone disagrees, comment away and I'll rethink my request.

Love,
The Rules Police

THe problem is that after a couple of weeks the articles get archived, the links reassigned and no longer work.

Some places will have way to get a permalink. I'll look into it.
