I'm a total newbie at this and only started w/ blogs last week, but when writing some my drafts that I plan on publising soon I come accross this dilemma.
When writing a blog should you always back up your references with a link to give validity to your statements?
Example:
A) In the last ten years Americans are paying higher taxes
www.yourreferencelink.com (or whatever source your referring to)
or do you just leave it at....
B) In the last ten years Americans are paying higher taxes.
I personally think A is appropriate because it backs up your statements with reference. However, you don't want to over do it and have a blog full of links. This will make your blog unprofessional and turn into a link farm.
When do you and when do you not link references? I know it's not a university paper your writing, however I don't know if its a good idea just to leave your blog empty of references and expect readers to take your word "as is" everytime.
