A Friendly Reminder to WebMasters "Borrowing" My Posts Without My Permission

If you enjoy something you've read here, nothing could please me more! If you'd like to share "that something" in part or in it's entirety with your own readers (meaning word for word, rather than in your own words... or through my feed) and publish to your own site without giving me credit, that is wrong.

I work hard to produce original content for this blog, and when you take my live feed, or copy and paste my blog posts (my exact words) and pop them into your own blog or website as though it's your own work, you're actually creating a competition between my blog and yours within Google's indexing system. The worst part? My posts are competing against one another and if you have a higher page rank, you'll potentially get the traffic that should be mine. Not cool.

If you're a visitor or regular reader to The Homeschooling Blog (and btw, if you're reading this and there is anything other than a header reading "The Homeschooling Blog" at the top of the page, the site you are viewing is sharing this post without my permission. I have never given anyone permission to take my posts and share (without credit or a linkback to my own site). Actually, even with a linkback, I've only once  given this type of permission.

I apologize for this... both to my readers and to the website or blog publishers who may not realize what they're doing is damaging to my blog. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt at this time. Please remove my feed and/or stop copy and pasting my posts (my work) to your site(s).

Finally, if you find yourself reading this post and realizing you're not on The Homeschooling Blog's website, please let me know? Follow this link: Homeschooling, and you'll find the real me!

God bless!
