Project help!!! Can I do these?

I am new in TechRepublic and also an amateur when it comes to the wonderful world of Computers and anything related to that.

I was just wondering if:

1. I can post links as references for my projects even if the links are not mine?

2. I can post links that are not inside TechRepublic?

I would really appreciate the help… and please… I need topics for my mini-thesis… I need one that is not too complicated for my instructor but is related to my course…

My instructor is an english instructor…

Thank you!
