Slightly irritated general request

[redbird]

Could people please include some useful description or labels when you post links. Not just "I agree with some but not all of his points" or "so-and-so makes sense". Take the extra moment to say "I agree with some but not all of his points about labeling and sexual orientation" or "so-and-so makes sense about $specified_topic_or_event".

At least, do that if you care whether I read the articles you're linking to.

Quite so!

[avram]

Indeed.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[rysmiel.livejournal.com]

You make a lot of sense on this point.

I don't know. I kind of figure that the effort the writer put into the post is indicative of the effort I should put into reading the link.

What an absurd suggestion... it's obvious that any capable reader can read the writer's mind to figure out what the article is about.

Remember to use the title attribute when building links, you can build-in more information.

I went to see <cite><a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0385004/" title="iMDB entry">House of Flying Daggers</a></cite> last night.

I'm buying into the hype over <cite><a href="http://archive.salon.com/ent/indie/2004/10/07/daggers/" title="Salon Review, Subscription Required">House of Flying Daggers</a></cite>.

The contents of the title attribute appear as a 'tool-tip' when you mouse over the link.

I really agree with this. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/redbird/547808.html?nc=11)
