Uh...excuse me, my blog is linking...
Some people enjoy writing densely linked blog entries, but personally I like to be able to read something without having to do an insane amount of background research on the subject in order to understand it. Plus, this excercise takes forever.
Linking is fine...it helps people understand what the entry might be about, but I really hate it when people make every entry a collage of links. I'm here to spend ten minutes reading your blog entry, not to blow my entire day looking at every single website you've ever seen. Seriously people.

I agree Paul ... over linking is bad.
Sherry- if you didn't like this entry why comment?
Tiffany - I agree Blank Verse needs to start fading away in people's comments. They can be a little annoying ... to the non-enlish/poetic people.
go to bed
Yes.
Paul, I get the point that you are trying to make and I totally agree,but do you think that it was necessary to link every word in your first couple scentences and put the NMJ website out of commission for awhile?
Ok. I commented in Mike Diezmos's about this whole blank verse thing, but this is getting ridiculus. Everywhere I go I see someone writing in blank verse. I am a fan of Shakespeare, but this is taking it a bit to far.
Tiff
The students linking more than usual
Are doing what I asked them all to do.
If overemphasizing links is what I did,
The blame should fall on me and me alone.
Huzzah!
FYI-
The links are there for people who want to look. You don't HAVE to click on every link. I think that if someone wants to take the time to put in the links~let 'em. It's not hurting you is it?
Also, some college professors require "richly linked blog entries" as assignments. I don't mean to sound harsh but it reminds me of people who dislike something either on TV or radio and spend ten minutes ranting about it when they can take ten seconds and turn it off. My advice~don't read the ones with too many links if you don't care for them.
