ALERT! Please post links within the blog post!

Please see my comment to Ty Wheeler's blog on "Digital Learning."
I am reposting it here for convenience.

1. When links are at the end of the blog post, I am not sure the links provided are directly related to the article. There is no context for some of the links, so I'm not sure how if fits within the context of the article. The links have to be RELATED to the article.  One of the links should BE the article or initial source.
    
2. To embed the link in the post, highlight the text that you want to link to, click the "link" button, and paste in the URL. (See my previous example about the NYTimes article on wiretapping encrypted communication, or link to one of the blog rolls on this page to see how others do it.) You can always "test the link" before submitting it.  Also, take advantage of "previewing" before publishing.  (You can always re-edit, but it saves time to preview.)
    
3. Finally, this assignment requires that you be somewhat thoughtful about your opinions and comments for full credit.  Do not hedge.  Have an opinion and back it up.
