Have you noticed that clicking a link to another posting sometimes takes you to another site, eg. clicking a link on busy.org opens a posting on steemit.com, or the other way around?
It's not very pleasant for your readers when it happens from one of your own postings, but it is avoidable by taking some care of the links you put in.
There are several ways to put a link to another posting in your posting:
With Markdown, you can put in:
<a href="https://steemit.com/photography/@ocrdu/jewel-on-legs">this</a> giving this, or
[this](https://steemit.com/photography/@ocrdu/jewel-on-legs) giving this.
In the editor, you can select a bit of text, and turn it into a link by clicking the "link" icon, and then type or paste in the URL.
All nice, but notice that all these links point to steemit.com, which is annoying for the reader when they are on steemitstage.com or busy.org or anywhere else (and who isn't these days?).
Clicking the link will then show them the linked posting in another interface, taking them off-site. Not good.
Fortunately, most interfaces (at least steemit.com, steemitstage.com and busy.org) use the same path and syntax for links, so when you change your link to:
<a href="/photography/@ocrdu/jewel-on-legs">this</a> giving this, or
[this](/photography/@ocrdu/jewel-on-legs) giving this,
that is, leaving out the "https://steemit.com"-bit, they will open in whichever front-end your reader is using at the time; much nicer.
Until we get a universal way of making a standard, persistent and unique link to a posting on the blockchain, this seems to be the best way to go. I think.
