There's sort of an unwritten rule on this site that you're supposed to post an entire article, not just the first few paragraphs, then a link to the rest of your article on your personal site. You can certainly post links to your blog/site if you want to, but chopping articles up won't get you many clicks.

Maybe we should turn that "unwritten" rule into a written rule. That sure would help with that minor problem. No big deal really, though.
