(when in edit mode, find an icon that looks like a little 'world' or 'globe', is also has a picture of a chain/link)

Finally, we discussed the need to hyperlink to original material where possible (e.g. some academic articles are freely available online such as in JOLT), and suggested ways to include citations/references in your post.
Here is one way to do cite an article without interupting the flow of your blog post - by foregrounding the reference used at the opening of the post:
