Hi Jason,

I wrote this article on Christmas last year. Copy pasted the same on dev.to few days back.

"Consider cross-posting your articles directly on DEV.to with a linkback." - So I just need to include a link to the original article at the top of the content. Is that all or something else needs to be done?

The top or bottom, yes. You can also (optionally) use the canonical_url = variable in the Front Matter variables (where title, tag, and description are set).

Just make sure you do indeed post the whole article. We're trying to cut down on the recent influx of click-farming (as I call it), where people use DEV.to simply as a vehicle to promote their own websites. I know you're not doing this, but it's been a problem across the board.

Thanks for being here!

Thanks Jason.

I will make sure I post the whole article every time.
