Findings: Authenticity Fast Fashion Millennials Hypertextuality
With the World Wide Web and the blogosphere in particular, hypertextuality has proliferated. It is the very structure blogs rest on... Fashion blogs constantly relate to other blogs, be it through directly linking to them in a post or by including them in their blogroll." -A. Rocamora, 2012
If there are any phrases or images I would like to borrow, I always make sure to cite all my sources by posting the links on where the reader may find them. -Blogger F
"In my full knowledge and opinion, it is very much acceptable for anyone and everyone to reuse all images off the World Wide Web PROVIDED they clearly and VISIBLY cite their references and all links to where they originally 'borrowed' the images from. -Blogger G
