Haven't gone anywhere yet!!
Hope you will stay awhile.......
The last few days I have toiled with the idea
of packing it in....
no more blogging.
Then after talking to Karen at Sew Many Ways
I realized that I love sharing all my creations
whether it be sewing,quilting,knitting, crocheting
painting, crafting.......and I especially love blogging.
Why don't I truncate my blog.
Karen explains how to truncate your blog.

Why should I let these SCRAPERS
take hold.....No NOT ME!!
Then Karen sent me to this site.
Susan's wonderful blog" Between Naps On The Porch" on
Blog Scrapers
STOP SCRAPERS FROM
STEALING YOUR BLOG CONTENT!
When I started googling, my blog name came up on a site that had stolen my
pictures ....no tutorials...no linking back to me just
pictures.
Who would do such a thing??
I had no idea that after all the work and time
it goes into posting on your blog
that as soon as you hit
the publish button.....
Boom a scraper has already taken your
post.
First I thought only my DIY projects were taken,
all I saw were pictures......and yes I watermark everything
but that does not deter 1% of the bad guys.
As Karen mentions there are 99% of us that are honest.
I don't mind if you take my pictures and link them back to me
or Pin them on Pinterest......I am overjoyed that you want to
follow my tutorials.....love my creations.
What blew me away was that I found through Siteliner
A blog had named themselves after me in the UK and had
taken all of my posts and copied them to this site.
Not only copied them but were they getting paid
when ever any one went to that post?
So I am now prepared to deal with these 1%.
Thanks for all your help and comments regarding
Invasion and copyright.
