Blogging Pro Tip

When linking to a news article, double check to see if it's behind a paywall by logging out of your subscription there before linking to it.

The link will be useless if it's behind a paywall to anyone not already subscribed...

Actually that link will be useless to subscribers too, because they will have already seen it... because they're subscribed...

    What I've recently found is that when linking to a FOX news story, clicking on the link results in a "page not accessible" result, BUT - if you right click and choose "open in new window", the link will open just fine. Don't know what's going on with FOX.
