How to Attribute Sources Credibly

How do you add a source link?

Referring to statistics, facts, and quotes, always use source links for credit. Mention the source in the content, then use the source webpage as the target URL with the source as anchor text. Whenever possible, cite the original source. Link only to trustworthy pages, not competitors or the same page multiple times, and avoid more than three links in one paragraph.

Quick Security Tip

You know the Last Account Activity in account settings? That’s now Active Sessions. You can find your Tumblr’s registered email in Account Settings or apps. Look over the last 30 days of web activity for anything suspicious and end it with a click.
