Then I got messages from some of those people. I was also using their bandwidth. I removed the photos or they removed them and sent me a nasty note. I NEVER used anyone's words. Now I don't use anyone's pics unless they are free or I ask ahead. There my conscience is clear. I will step out of the confessional booth. c-inghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328125488660953538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357139271305269155.post-50048681948759115782014-12-21T13:24:43.776-05:002014-12-21T13:24:43.776-05:00I read Joyce Meyer's website a lot amd half th...I read Joyce Meyer's website a lot amd half the time I want to copy-paste what I've read to send to friends, but the website won't let you do that. I wonder if there is a way to set up our blogs that way? <br /><br />While this is unfortunate, the hilarious llama photo on the top made me smile brightly. Love it! My husband and I long to be llama farmers (or, even better, alpacas!) I don't know why. We're not even regular farmers. We don't even have a cat or dog. :-) ah, well, dreams!<br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357139271305269155.post-59822778386921935562014-03-12T09:33:27.723-04:002014-03-12T09:33:27.723-04:00Thanks for the great post, Brandi!

It's unfortunate that those who create original content and share it with others are the ones who suffer. I like your wording in your request to the other blogger. Do you mind if I use it? :) Thanks Brandi.<br /><br />DebbieDebbie @ MeandMyDIYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454606067378290761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357139271305269155.post-33394554632523796842012-08-09T22:10:19.015-04:002012-08-09T22:10:19.015-04:00I just saw this post, and thank you so much for le...I just saw this post, and thank you so much for letting us know.

I clicked on it for just a second and immediately regretted it... lets just say it was nothing I would EVER approve of... Is there a way to block these referring URL's?? Trust me I do NOT want any referrals from a pornographic site.

Then I continued to read. Wow, I'm farely new to blogy world, and didn't think people really did this kind of stuff. Then just recently I looked at the stats page and clicked on an unformiliar site. Sure enough they copied my entire post, and it's in spanish, so I don't even know if they would understand that I don't appreciate it. You have a great idea about googling and seeing what pops up. I'm going to try it.

While doing a search, I found some of my images used on anothers blog without my permission. I also emailed this person and asked that if she wanted to post my images that she needed to ask first. I never heard from her. I freely share my ideas and photos with the hopes that someone wouldn't pass it off as their own photo.
