Referendum: Do you prefer blog or embedded TRs
I stirred up a discussion on A-net about the preference of blog links vs embedded TRs. I'm curious to find out what your views are!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Embedded as a general rule. However, some people like lucky9876coins run a hell of a blog and I don't mind going to their sites.

Depends on the site and the embedded TR
I think there are some people whose links absolutely suck. Just horrible. But then, like lucky, they are quite excellent. Also, there are people who just write a bunch of text in the embedded forums with no pictures and just pages upon pages of text. I find those absoultely boring.
So, in the end, it does not matter if it's embedded or a link; what matters is how good the TR is.
However, if the TR's were identical, I would prefer embeeded over the link.

OK! In that case it's time to change the format of my future TRs! Links at the top, then embedded below. What do you think?

its very rare I'll click a link to someone's blog to read a TR.
And on a similar note, embedded photos are much more preferable (to me) than a link to a photo album. If you have too many photos add a couple relevant to whats in the text and have a link to the full album at the start or underneath.
