It’s all about the links! (Assignment #2)
When you blog, links are very important. We use them to show where we got something:
The weather in Taichung tonight will be cold, between 14 to 16 degrees.
Or when we want to write what someone else wrote we also use links to show where we got it:
The elections in Pakistan are underway. Who knows if they will be fair? According to a CNN report:

We use them also to link to something we already wrote, but want to explain again:
Last year I posted a video on how not to do Powerpoint presentations. Please look at it when you have time.
