Oh ok. So is posting a link in this way ok? I always thought we had to show some of the text from page we were linking to…

You do. Copy the url, paste into vt. Copy an extract of the article and paste that into VT. Add a comment, where appropriate.

The point of you picking the extract is to illustrate why you think the link is relevant. That can't be automated.
