P.S. How do you prefer I format these Congress link posts, provide the source and link in parentheses as I did in this post, or make the whole text and commentary into the link as I have been doing previously (i.e. here)?

    I greatly prefer the source be linked after the headline in parentheses. Visually its much more pleasant to read. Also, this format better indicates the source.

    Thanks. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I agree for the same reasons. I was doing it the other way because I thought it looked cleaner with fewer little blue links interrupting the text. For now, I’m going to stick with the above formatting.
