How to … Quote Another Site on TST

Occasionally, you want to quote another site in a TST topic, blog post, etc.

Step 1

Paste the URL to the site so that people can find the page with the full content. If there's a ? with things like ?utm_source=email_blast&something_else=visitor&blahblah=whatevs consider removing it as it's unecessary and makes the URL look cluttered (as well as potentially misleading the site as to the source of the referral traffic).

Step 2

Copy and paste a quote from the page to which you're linking.

Step 3

Important: Click the "Remove Formatting" link that appears at the bottom of the site. Clean up any rogue spacing, advertisements, etc. that remain.

Step 4

Select the quoted text in the editor and click the "Quote" button (a pair of quotation marks) on the toolbar to wrap the quoted text in a quote.
