I try most of the time to get this right, but I’ll admit sometimes to just not remembering where I clicked a link from. I have about twenty browser windows open right now, not including my RSS reader and it’s hard to keep track sometimes.

For my own part, when I’m posting something I’ve seen in another person’s blog I usually include two references - in the link I point directly to item, and then I usually add something like “via [url]” or “as seen in [url]” in the body or description of the post. And if I quote someone else’s post, I do so in quotations and usually add italics to differentiate it from stuff I’ve written. I’ve seen lots of different ways in which people do this, and alter mine as I find some form that I enhances some of the dynamics that I think are at play in blogs. And I think this last part is important - the netiquette that evolves around blogs will very much determine what the blogosphere actually is, and so these kinds of discussions are important even though to begin with they seem like so much personal opinion. Cheers, Scott.

Just thought it was worth pointing out. Consider me on the side of setting by example, and aim to provide links worth clicking…
