How do you connect your post with the wider world? Are you networking your ideas? How does the content you display reflect and frame the content you create?
The basic ethos of digital media is the notion of non-linear networked connections– links. When you provide a link to something you did not produce, what are you saying about this content? How do you deal with ideas from a source or on a site that are out of your control? How do you use outside sources to help frame an argument or lend structure to a post?
