I totally deserved that slap on the wrist. ...Ellie,<br />I totally deserved that slap on the wrist. I am new to blogging, however I am an creative person, I draw and post to the web and I am an author who places things on the web. It would have angered me if it happened to me. I honestly don't know what I was thinking and I truly didn't mean to steal I was just trying to pass on some good news. I shared your blog with one of my CP I told them you are the boom and how great it is that you post all this info. I sent her your links. All this before I had the clever idea to post it on my page. Please don't feel bad you did nothing wrong, you actually helped me now I know better. I am still a big fan and now I know how to show it.<br /><br />Thank you again Ellie you rock!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190164097313748920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152761876469161567.post-3110381403105921292012-09-25T21:49:59.121-04:002012-09-25T21:49:59.121-04:00I felt really bad about 'yelling' at you!...I felt really bad about 'yelling' at you! I know you're new at this. (here's what I wrote on facebook earlier today: <i>Just sent a twitter message to someone to remove content they lifted from my blog and posted on theirs w/o any credit back to me. Feel like a jerk because they are new at this but really, it's not okay to just lift entire content from other blogs. (this is a sidebar list of links I created, including my wording/notes on each). <br />Thinking maybe I over reacted...</i><br /><br />Aside from several comments that, yeah, it sucks but you need to do it, I had several people mention ways it *is* okay to use content. I'm passing these along because really, I'm usually the person bending over backwards to be helpful, not yelling!<br /><br />So here goes:<br />One -In a post always link back to the place you got the information from and, even better say something about the link (one I've seen used a lot for 'discussions' on the web is: Today on her blog Ellie wrote about XXX, while I don't disagree with her point, I think... where you'd provide a link 'her blog' or 'Ellie'.)<br />Two - provide a link back and show only partial content. I try to do this with the contests links. I include a little bit about the contest and then link back to the juicy part/rules.<br />Three - if you want to copy the whole thing you need to drop the author a note and ask if it's okay. And then, you guessed it, if they say yes they'll ask for a link back to the original content.<br /><br />I hope this helps. I wish you nothing but success. I hate being a meanie!! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752960509531447848noreply@blogger.com
