Knowing when to say when: Are links in blogs good things?

I just read this article by Terry Freedman, and it got me wondering about how many links are good to include in a blog entry.

I link a lot in my graphic novel blog, because I am trying to give people opportunities to gather more information about a subject. I figure if they want to skip a link, they can and should. There's no law that says they have to follow every path they see. But then do folks navigate away and end up not reading what you originally posted?

Any thoughts out there (in your copious spare time)?


In the meantime, here is a picture of a threatening toddler. Enjoy!
