Linking to TJO - Use of Permalinks
Dear Readers,
One of the good things about a blog like this with lots of written content is that it tends to fair quite well in the search engines. Lots of people are referred here as a result of their search engine queries. This invariably means that visitors link to our articles and comment about them elsewhere.
While I am obviously keen that people share our articles it would be helpful if anyone doing so used the post's permalink instead of the site homepage. Each post title is a permalink - simply right click on the title and copy the link location to paste elsewhere.
Using the permalink guarantees that other people see the same content as you instead of stumbling across a completely irrelevant story on the homepage.
In the past people have linked to the homepage with eye catching anchor text like "Pensioner Beaten on Tram" only to find that by then the story has migrated to the archive and is at a different URL.
Thanks.
