Scrappers, Scammers .........




                                         

                                            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.
