I remember you FreeperBeaters complaining that bloggers didn't post excerpts of their articles, but just a link.

Actually, that's not quite accurate.

The complaint is that they needlessly excerpt blog posts in order to get hits.

There are two species of blogpimps, the excerpters and the vidpimps.

I know, it can seem confusing but there is indeed a method to the madness.

Yes it is or I wouldn't have stated it.

Yes, I remember that complaint also.

I notice that their writings are copyrighted so it may be best that they excerpt like many other news sites.

Over a year ago I noticed a poster here at FR always posting videos on their blog with nothing noted about them with a link to their site where it was imbedded.

No, I didn't like that either.

If I was interested in the video, I would click on "watch on you tube" link and watch it there.

This poster has posted the entire article and incorporated the video in the story.

As I told shambooie (sorry I don't want to look up the name), a blogger putting their name in as author means they are the author of the words.

Not the video silly!
