Se nao fosse por ele nao consegueria fazer um trabalho escolar muito importante para mim e minhas companheiras de grupo. Acho que o site tb devia falar sobre a politica turca e os transgenicos nesse pais! Congratulacoes, Diowania. Adorei este site!

On the downside, it's going to link to whichever bloglines thing you used. My solution to this was to grab the referer when I put it into the db, like this:

javascript:
link=window.location;
title=window.prompt(link+’\nTitle?’,document.title);
comment=window.prompt(link+’\n’+title+’\nComment?’);
referer=window.prompt(link+’\n’+title+’\n’+comment+’\nReferrer?’,document.referrer);
document.location=’http://www.aquarionics.com/path/to/adminstuff/linkthis.php?url=’+escape(link)+’&title=’+escape(title)+’&comment=’+escape(comment);

I get the referrer (and the referrer title) in an editable form, so I can fiddle with them, but the referrer isn't the one I want.<br /> I suppose i could hack the referrer fetch page (it runs a server-side thing to fetch the referrer page, so I can get a title from it) to check if the referrer is a Bloglines page and if so go looking for the link I followed and then work out the <b>real</b> referrer, but that sounds amazingly hard, and I have to hardcode my Bloglines login details into the server-side script, too.<br /> I'll think about it...
