I’ve seen people just use the FR site as a link reference in vanity posts and the like. I think I’ve done that myself, even.
if it is news , you have to post a source where you got the info
if it is OPINION then you can post a ‘vanity’ in the bloggers section
Did anyone in this chat post get ate up by dogs?
Just post the announcement as a vanity. That should be okay.
After over a month of delay, WSDOT has released the findings of what is blocking Bertha, the worlds largest ever tunneling machine.An eight inch steel pipe, it is actually a drill casing from when original early wells were drilled to test the feasibility of the tunnel.
Local radio news is reporting that info about the pipe is actually contained in the project planning documents, and that WSDOT actually realized what it was around Christmastime.
What they will do now is yet to be determined.
The tunneling machine has apparently sustained significant damage.
I’m guessing you cut and pasted something from some other source. Unless it was some email or Facebook chat, you should provide a link to it.
And then even when you do all that - we are left reading some mindless drivel until a kind and gracious Mod “No Thanks” it for us all.
Cheers.
OK, which one was so quick with the mouse?
And as a reminder to all, leaving out the link to what appears to be a news item makes it look like the Excerpting Guidelines are being avoided. So it’s best not to do it.
Missed that one, got a link?
I think that what you posted was fine. Anyone with any smarts is going to take your news as Unproven and not consider it gospel, Yet likely true considering your length of time here.
Your only mistake is that you really should state where you are getting the information from even if there is nothing to link to. That might have made a difference.
start yourself a blog, then post it there and excerpt yourself here to drive hits to there...and then duck
Here is your confirmation:
