Blogs are a strange writing medium.
Over time, the single posts become related to each other—through links, tags, and cross-referencing.
Take the Writing Challenge Series:

I can’t seem to get that link for “Chase” to work, Alexander.
I spent some time over at Barbara Blackcinder’s blog. Great writing! Having been stuck in Deadeye for so long, I could relate to the latest story post. I can’t seem to leave my town either.
Thanks for the complements Simone. I’m sure Alex will have the link up and running before long, he is a link-master after all. :-)
Gee, Simone, it’s working for me…
It should be opening a box that let’s you select where to download the file.
If it continues to not work for you, let me know and I’ll email the story to you.
Hooray! Got it. The issue was on my end, I’m sure. Remember, Alexander, my internet provider has informed me our system is being powered by a closet of full of batteries. I’m bearing in mind harvest has begun here so I’ll assume yesterday a few of those batteries were needed out in the fields. Therefore, I had less boogie on-line. x-/
Glad you got your boogie back, Simone :-)
