Another good rule for transparency in blogs is to tell your readers where you rst saw news or other
items you are discussing. A “via” line like the following at the post’s end can be used, including a link
to the original article:
(Via CNN.com.)
Now your readers can educate themselves about the kinds of sources you are using in your daily
research, and they may also compare your information with the source information to make up their
own mind.
Additionally, using the Edit HTML tab, you can style this “via” line a bit. You could use the class via on
a p (paragraph) element, as shown:
<p class="via">(Via <a href="http://cnn.com/page/3928.html">CNN.com</a>.)</p>
By itself, this will not change the font when you publish the post—you still need to adjust the
stylesheet to include a layout denition for the via class. In Blogger, click on Template on top.
