Link Posts

The previous post from earlier today The Family That Prays is a link post. For those of you unfamiliar with this sort of post the idea is that clicking on the title of the article will take you to the original article. However, I've noticed that this new template doesn't treat the titles of link posts differently than regular posts. That makes it a little difficlt for everyone. I will see what I can do to help make this easier. In the mean time I will make sure to diligently mark these sort of posts appropriately with the tag: "Link Post."


Update: After trying to find a complext soultion to this problem it was suggested to me that I just append something to the end of each linkpost.

I think it's the correct solution for my audience. Sometimes it's great to have someone else look at a problem. I would have wasted may hours solving a problem that I didn't really need to solve.


Update 2: Going forward I will be using the same 8-pointed star that I've assigned to footnotes to indicate any posts that are linkposts. I hope this will help sufficiently distinguish them from standard posts.

Remember that a link post is a short comment on a external article that is linked to by the title. All you need to do to read the linked article is click on the article title.
