content: Hey Dave,question about forum etiquette. Say I do a teardown or a debug session on my blog. I then want to share it with other people here.I can either start a new thread and link to my blog, or essentially repeat the post here and re-upload files. The first one is obviously easier for me, but this is your forum so I figured I'd ask what you think. Thanks, Igor

content: Unlike some other forum, sharing your content and linking to your own blog on here is encouragedI'm not fussed either way, but if it's a lot of text, best to just link to it and not repeat it all I think, but up to you. But don't just post a link, but some info in the post as well so people know what it is etc.If it's a youtube video then best to embed it (just post the URL and the forum converts it)Dave.

content: As well if you link to it from Dave then it would be nice to put a link back in the article to the post in question. There may be the odd person who goes to your site that is not a member here, and it will be good link karma.

content: And BTW, also unlike some other forums, this one doesn't have the "no follow" tag implemented in links.So you get the extra SEO benefit offered by this forum.Dave.
