The Globe is the problem. They don't care. They don't want to devote resouces to putting in links. It would be easy for htem to instruct their authors to write articles with URL's in them like Google, http://google.com, but htey don't even do that. Since my mom was in that article, I wrote a blog post about it and put in links to all the sites that were mentioned in teh article. http://offonatangent.blogspot.com/2006/07/powerful-woman-bloggers.html After that, I saw that Maura also made a blog post on her own blog with links. Too bad hte Boston Globe does not get it. They are all about attracting eyeballs and not about sending peole away.
