I've seen a lot better done and stand in wonder at those people.<BR/><BR/>Childhood's 'executive play', I heard that term today this morning on NPR. Maybe that's what blogging is for me. I never did grow up.<BR/><BR/>Then I meet serious grown up people who actually sell their work, and I stand in wonder at them too.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989112228749810477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25825996.post-65854687369253354522008-02-20T08:34:00.000-05:002008-02-20T08:34:00.000-05:00Wow, thanks, Betsy!

Being unemployed is the pits but you hold your chin up anyway. Any kind of work is good, right?<BR/>But I must tell you NotHannah, I started reading your various blogs after your comment led me to your garden blog and today I actually subscribed with that RSS feed gadget that I never use! I'll add a link in my sidebar soon so people who don't read comments can check your blogs out as well.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989112228749810477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25825996.post-25154318385554475222008-02-19T07:21:00.000-05:002008-02-19T07:21:00.000-05:00Oh, no they di-int!

As a freelance writer, that would make my head explode, only because they didn't ask permission. <BR/><BR/>Look at it this way: as much as you want to build a sort of universal gardening community (I assume from the posts I've read so far--have I said that your blog is what my gardening blog wants to be when it grows up?), you'd still want somebody to ask you if they could use a patch of your yard to plant their basil in, right? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, yes...be upset and I think a note to them asking them to pay up or take down would be right in line. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait to explore your site some more!Not Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17817871438213291396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25825996.post-54436580855581924012008-02-18T11:39:00.000-05:002008-02-18T11:39:00.000-05:00I do understand your pain and the worst part is th...I do understand your pain and the worst part is they do not even contact you<BR/><BR/>It is interesting to me because when I created The Gardening Power Guides and the other guides I was very conscious that it pissed me off when people use work you have put a lot of work into which is why all the latest posts etc is in javascript so I do not take traffic only try to provide a service<BR/><BR/>I spent 2 years researching a site on history with stuff not found anywhere on the net ( because it did not exist ) and now that same data is all over the place .<BR/><BR/>I have issued a couple of DCMA and had sites taken down and contacted Search Engines but in general unless it is flagrant it is difficult to police.<BR/><BR/>I do have many who email me if they can use my research and nearly always if its for education purposes which is what the site was built for I allow it to be used providing they site the resource<BR/><BR/>stevethepowerguideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043772925488690607noreply@blogger.com
