Link Love: When a Jack isn't a Jack

Cindy asked a question in a comment on yesterday's post that bears some discussion. She had the grace to apologize for linking to a post of mine last week on some great new resources on fair use.

thumbnail Here's my take. In the world of blogging, links are LOVE. I don't think it's ever necessary to ask to link to a blog post.

When linking to a resource like the fair use guides, the author obviously wants them distributed. Further, you are probably going to reference the source in your copy, anyway.

In the case of Cindy's link directly to a resource I recommended, a shout out or a hat tip are kind of customary in the blog world. So thanks Cindy! 'preciate the LOVE!

And, by the way, Cindy has a pretty cool blog herself, where among other things, you can find our once and for all whether crap is really a swear word, right here!

And, lest I be accused of not following my own example, HT to Craig and crew from the Swerve blog for kicking off this little conversation.
