Essentially you'd be giving the authors and original publisher their credit so that blog readers know what's what. The last couple of articles don't have this information listed and it looks from an outsider's point-of-view that this is original ReefBuilder written content. I've seen people get upset about issues like this on digg and reddit... Please don't take this as criticism as I do agree the content you're posting is pretty well buried and can only be found by searching the web archives and it is indeed important and pertinent. :) Shane FWIW, just so people know that this is the case, it would be good to include the original author(s), a link to the web archives where this information was found, and where it was originally published.

These articles are not on their website any longer, only found them with web archives. I am putting the whole article on the site to continue the article, the archives will not last forever. If we didn't do that the information would be lost forever. However, I do normally link to the website of the source article, and that being such I would gladly link to the original article besides the web archives. We need this information to still be available to web aquarists for the years to come. Shane, thats for the information.
