Content Copyrighted

I don't know how many of my readers use this site's rss feed, but it has been changed from full to short. If none of you do, I will simply shut it off. I do not like seeing pictures of my kids and family on someone else's site, esp when they are profiting from it. Thanks granny for bringing the bitacle debacle to my attention.

I robbed photos from someone's site once... but i used them in a testimonial to their blog. Does that count as theft?
(see "I Miss Mollie" on my sidebar)

turtle guy- i am referring to splogging- stealing entire posts and making money from them. allowing people to comment as if it belongs there. bitacle has 178 feeds of mine!

jayne- when i move my blog to my domain, i might switch to wordpress so i can use that plugin. for now i will keep the feed to short, so you at least know if i have updated.

As I understand it, if it's short, there's nothing to steal.

I can't remember if I read you in RSS or not Dawn. I'll check. I know I keep up with you through Bloglines.

I need to change mine too if I can figure out how.

I got a lot of response from that post. The "professional bloggers" have known about it for a while and so have I (sort of) but I didn't think it affected us little guys.

Wrong - they'll steal whatever they can.
