Integrity

Integrity, it is such a small word, but it has such large meaning. With all the problems Bloggers have been encountering lately, you would think that having your photos, and posts stolen, or copied would be the last thing you would have to worry about. But unfortunately it is not. You can read about one Bloggers fight here, Debi Ward Kennedy is fighting for her blog rights, because some one is stealing her posts. In fact he is doing much more than plagiarizing them. I found out about the pledge through her blog, after she posted about the difficulties she is encountering. You will find the badge on my sidebar. Should you wish to add the badge to your blog, you can find the link here. Blogging with integrity. Now go and take the pledge!

  2. I believe that it is hard to stop also, but how are we to know, if we don't try.

  3. We must always try. Always. I block spammers, I block phising sites etc.
    My son had a video on the internet that he had been offered money for at one point. One day when looking at the video he saw that a company had taken his video and added their advertisement to it. We were all over them like flies on you know what. We contacted them, we wrote about them and inundated them with criticisms of their honesty anywhere they had an ad or a site. It took a couple of days but they removed their ads. A lot of work but it was worth it.

Every comment is important, you have taken the time to let me know how you feel about what I have written, and I do appreciate it. Sometimes I will respond on the blog, and sometimes I will take a more private approach and email you back.

Our blogs are like gardens, and your comments are the flowers that bloom most beautifully in them.....
