This is a question that Bud Hunt explored recently, and he sees hypertext links as the essential difference. But I’m sure that Bud would agree there’s more to blogging than just adding links to our writing. Yes, linking matters in important ways. Mainly, it allows us to extend a conversation by connecting one source with another (like I’m doing here, now). Doing that requires us to make judgments about how texts are related, and to take a position relative to one or another. But that doesn’t happen just from the linking.

I've just started a website that compiles research on DIBELS, and I stumbled upon your post last year about the tests. I'm happy to see what you're writing about. Could I email you some questions about your site in hopes that I could learn faster how to get mine going. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you. Daniel Ferguson Doug,
