The host I use to publish McHenry County Blog is Word Press. Last night I started noticing underline words that, when clicked upon, transfer readers to something called "en.wikipedia.com," whatever that is.

Discerning operatives will instantly recognize that en.wikipedia.com is, erm, Wikipedia -- the Internet's (as well as your LakeCountyEye's) official reference source.

You can access it here if you have words with dotted underlining on you screen. I'm so please to know that McHenry County Blog is not the exporter on unauthorized links.Content filters like Adblock Plus that block scripted HTTP requests to prevent popups and other unwanted ads usually have no effect on the sort of embedded hyperlinks that bedevil the bewildered bloggers at the McHenryCountyBlog.
