What does the Link field do?

The Quick Answer
The Link field associates a post with another webpage for reference.
It's handy for link blogs or blogs that frequently provide critiques or commentary on other sites.
Note: This article assumes you're using a customized classic template. If you're using Layouts or a default classic template, set the Show Link Field option to Yes to enable the link field. (From settings>formatting.)
The Link field can be very useful if your blog posts are frequently about other articles, and you want the links to these articles visible on your public blog.
Paste this code into the appropriate place in your template:
">Link
The "posted by" line is usually a good spot for it, but be creative:
You must specify a protocol when using the Link field, i.e. http://www.blogger.com — www.blogger.com isn't sufficient

Ooops, i was practicing placing the link (to the help section where I found this information), but I lost the link!
