I have a suggestion - PFF imports highlighted text and the page URL; how about the option of importing the home page of the referenced website, as well? That way the writer gets two links from the referral instead of one. If the two links were on separate lines, it would be easy to use one or both.

Not sure what you mean. So
Not sure what you mean.
So if you select text from mysite.com/somenews/entry/1/
and choose "blog this", you want both a link to mysite.com and mysite.com/somenews/entry/1/? Or just mysite.com/somenews/entry/1/ and the site you were refered from (i.e. I came from slashdot.org)?
Its sounds like what I already manually do
When ever I post say a story about a new software that ive came upon I always put a link to the site where im getting the story at the end of my post. I guess its my way of giving credit to the originator and not making it look as if its my story..... I think thats what hes talking about!!
And its a great idea as well.
Ronf,Doesn't pff already do
Ronf,
Doesn't pff already do that?
i.e. if I select your text above and 'blog this' with pff,
it generates the following for me in PFF
New Feature Suggestion | Performancing.com
I guess what he is requesting is also a link to the 'domain' so in this case performancing.com
Where exactly should that be put?
Does for me too
or if I need I usually just grab the url with the cursor and drag it to where I want it on the page. Its no big deal to me but others I guess it might.
Yes, Exactly
Sorry for not monitoring this...
Yes, the first choice - a link to both mysite.com and mysite.com/somenews/entry/1/.
A link to the referrer is a good idea, as well. Maybe all three, and we can delete the one(s) we don't want.

Hmm.. While it is doable,
Hmm..
While it is doable, I'm not sure anyone else but you (or very few people) would actually use it.
I guess what I'm worried about is cluttering the interface for something people would barely ever use...
Can you think of a good way to do this without intruding on normal users?
Make it a checkbox option?
Call it something cool, like Professional Citing...
