@Erica

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I know nothing about Creative Commons Licenses either.

Sorry

Do you have any opinions on Creative Commons licenses?
I admit I don’t know a lot about them.

Hi Bill

Thanks for the comment.

It’s a wordpress plugin that overides the default “No Follow” for a commentators link. So the links are all “Do Follow” unless I feel a particular link shouldn’t be followed then I just add a “/nofollow” on to the URL.

Have double checked and unless I’m overlooking something it seems fine. Would appreciate it if you let me know why you’re thinking the comments are “No Follow”?

Justin.

Hey there…curious why you say on your About page that this is a Do Follow blog…however you have the No Follow active on the comment section.

Did you change your mind?

Lol I’ve never heard that Picasso quote before. I remember when someone ripped off a design I’d done for a large UK based ISP someone said to me that I should be flatered and its when people don’t steal my designs I should worry

I don’t think copy people article is good and not many would like, think about all the hard work that had done to accomplish such a nice content and people just took it without permission. I have wrote a post on my blog about do it your own way.

I say read other articles and then answer some questions. How did the article make you feel? What did the author leave out of the article? What would make the author’s ideas even better?

Answering some of these questions and then writing your own article from the answers you generate makes your article even better than the original. There is no need to copy. Unless you are lazy and have a lot of money to pay lawyers and bloggers who prosecute.

Great article that needs to be repeated again and again. Thanks.
