What [HT] Stands For

February 8, 2009

hattip

Ever see someone type this either at the top or bottom of their blog post?

[HT: xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It means “Hat Tip”:

Acknowledgment to a contributor toward an effort. Often used on blogs to let people know where the idea for the blog post originated.

For example, the above picture is from Luis Montemayor. So, I might do something like:

[HT: Luis Montemayor]

Cool. Now you know. Go on and be your bad little self in your bloggy blog world.

Ciao.

In Fun

    Do you need a HT for the definition, or do we insert your name there if we repeat it?

    Holy crap. I've done that but just never knew what it meant. You really do learn something new every day :)
