 * I’m simply trying to add a link to my posts for “Source” articles. This would
   go after my post next to the comment link. I’ve searched these forums but perhaps
   I’m missing something.

 * What is a “Source” article? Please explain further…

 * Just an article I’m commenting on. Ever been to any of the tech blogs like engadget
   or Gizmodo? They all have source links. It could be called a related link as 
   well. I just need to be able to link to another site and have that link appear
   after my post.

 * Then couldn’t you just paste a link into your post such as:
    `<a href="http://
   wordpress.org/support/topic/254294?replies=3">Forum post on the subject of link
   to source</a>`
 * Or look at [Press This](http://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This).

 * I could, but that’s a hassle when every entry requires that. Also, the “Source”
   link won’t be in the proper position.
 * In Blogger I have a “Link” field. Any URL I put in that field creates a “Source”
   link for me right next to my “Permalink” link. If I leave the Link field blank,
   no source link is created. I can’t believe nobody knows the answer to this. Numerous
   WordPress blogs have these links and they can’t all be doing it manually.

 * I’m probably being stupid about this…could you provide a link to an example, 
   please.

 * Some sites have a “Via” link but I’m just trying to do it without having to enter
   the HTML every time. I can do it in Blogger, but can’t figure it out in WordPress.
 * Thanks.

 * Unless you find a plugin to do that, might consider using a Custom Field.
