 > - The only thing he stumbled on was adding a link.  Should we add a
 "Link Text" field in addition to the "Link URL" field?

 The thing that stands out for me in that UX test is that he is repeatedly
 confused about the difference between the meta box content and the post
 content.  For the link and quote he's pasting text into both places.

 On links it's not obvious if the "link URL" is going to apply to the post
 title or what?

 On the quote, it's not obvious if the link URL is going to apply to the
 post title, quote, quote source, or just show up as a link of it's own...

 I think the semantics of calling the line "Link URL" for images, links,
 quotes and more leads to confusion.  Perhaps it should be "Link URL for
 Image", "Link URL for Quote Source", etc...
