Reading a blog you can gain an understanding of the bloggers thoughts and then with the click of a link you can instantly have access to other opinions, facts, or observations, that the blogger felt relevant. From there you may follow additional links to other sources that may relate to subject matter. This presenting and sharing of ideas is the most important function that blogging can do, no matter what the subject. It opens our minds to the varied thoughts of others. It also in some cases gives us a glimpse of a thought process, from link to link. This is a powerful media. With power comes responsibility. Good linking is a skill.
