Sigh… a lesson in net etiquette

Ok this has been happening for a while now and I want to just out it out there and explain a few things who use my and other peoples free content…

Ok first off if you use something link the main page i.e. http://www.lost-in-love.com or whatever domain its from. Don’t link the page where you got what you used… Its rude several people did this with my brushes and other things…

why you shouldn’t do it:

First off if your basically re distributing the item yea sure they come to my the site to get it but they didn’t get to or have to look at the other stuff like you did. You should give proper credit to the creator and doing so is a link to their site not their resources.

Ok second taking things you didn’t make… Just because some one posts something on the Internet does not give you the right to take it. And if something is posted and doesn’t say that the item is for any one but is simply posted on a blog or a site etc… all that means is hey I’m showing you this but you cannot take it… if its up for grabs They always say something like “here is a freebie I made for you to use” etc. Please feel free to admire things but don’t be a thief. If you see something you like then say so and ask how i did it don’t just take it.

I work very hard on anything I put on my site and I offer everything I give out for free all I ask for is a simple link back and that you don’t steal I think that’s fair.

These are things a lot of people don’t know and its really never ok but if you didn’t know just don’t do it any more and if you have questions about any of this ask me and I would be happy to answer them!

OK any way I didn’t do to much around here… a little cleaning and I started a new scrap booking layout but nothing really major. I also Have some more free scrap booking papers coming hopefully those will be up tomorrow or sometime soon.

Also I took another pregnancy test… It was negative but I figured. I was sad but I expected it hopefully I can get pregnant soon… I really don’t get why this is so hard for me.

I am still working on the layout I just cant get it coded like it was… damn it! I really hope I get it up soon!

    I’ve been reading your blog for sometime. I wish you the best of luck on having a baby. But don’t you think you should do the right thing and be divorced before having a baby with another man? If you never wish to married this guy (sounds like you do though) but if you didn’t thats fine. The right thing would be to not be married to another man before you have a child with another. It’s just not right, in my opinion anyway. And maybe you should stop trying so hard. I know it’s hard when you want a baby so bad. I went threw the same thing you did, and thats why I come back to see what’s going on. My husband and I tried for 6 years with no luck and miscarriage after miscarriage. After we kinda just gave up, and started living our lifes, we soon had twins.. 1 boy, 1 girl… I hate to see someone going threw so much to have a baby, and I see it on alot of blogs. Try realising that maybe this isn’t your time to be a mother, maybe you need to clean up your life a little before you bring a child into this world. I hope you take in what I’ve said. I wish you the best of luck, and will continue to visit…Take care hun.

    You’ve got a really pretty layout. :) Also, on the net etiquette, I never realised people did that, it’s really sad, but I guess we all take risks when we put up our stuff for public viewing. Oh well.

    One time, this girl literally look all of my content, changed it to fit her/her site (but it all still had the same order/page layout/wording as mine) and put it all up as her own. I said something to her about it, so on her credits page, she put something like “Thanks to Tiffany for some of the content.” She eventually added more stolen content to her site, so it wasn’t just mine. That was a bit frustrating though. I know I don’t have the most original content, but still! Her site was crap though.

    Sorry to hear again that you aren’t pregnant. I think I said this before, but you should just try not to think about. Go about things like you’re not trying to get pregnant.. then when the time comes, take the test.. then celebrate.. or try again. I bet it’s frustrating though. Again, good luck with it :)
