Do not post the contents of entire articles. Just summarize the importance quickly and maybe provide one quote. No need to post the whole thing, the link should enough.
Be wary of embedded links from such places as Gawker or the Atlantic. Sometimes they will take big quotes from another article (say by the NYTimes) and just link to the article. Please post the original article, not the derivative summary provided by another webpage. This is akin to plagiarism for bloggers and annoys many people.
Those of you who are my friends on facebook (I don't mind if you are my friend on facebook) can post links here. I post links on facebook often but usually do not take the time to post them here. I usually don't have enough time to craft a nice post on the blog so I will leave it up to you guys. You can grab my links and use them for credit.
