Thank you for sharing this great post, I do hate when people steal other peoples work. But I do love the blogs about animals.

I know I'm late to the party here, but this is a great post. I can't find anything to disagree with, and have had the same thoughts myself at times. Nothing gets me fired up faster than finding someone who steals posts from other bloggers. Especially if it's obvious they are in it "for the money". I don't even like the scrapers that grab long passages from my blog and put up on their own.

One thing I've taken pride in is that my blog is definitely my own. There's nothing else out there much like it, and I'm all over the place. I lamented not having a niche until it dawned me that was my niche!

I would love any feedback anyone wants to give on the general appeal of my blog. I have three faithful readers, but they tend to love everything I do. I keep waiting for them to discover what a really good blog looks like. :0)

But I love your blog! I hope I didn't offend you.

I'm guilty of using the strike through, Full. Stop., cartooning myself and a whole host of things that I'm sure are boring, stupid, and/or irritating.

There are lots of blogs out there to chose from. I'm sure some of them won't be so offensive.

I have to stop myself from using blogspeak all.the.time.

Oh, crap, I just did it again.

Because sounding like everyone else? Is the opposite of awesomesauce.

Oh gosh, I love the strikethrough!! I don't use it that often but when I do, I think it is to hilarious effect.

Maybe I need to reconsider.

I am so sick of the strikethrough! I think I've done it maybe once, but it gets really annoying when people do it multiple times per blog.

I can NOT believe you have found blogs COPYING posts. If ever I get an idea from a blogger I use it as a way to promote them … I love linking people to my favorite bloggers! How in the world does someone just simply copy what they read and post it as their own? That sickens me. Why bother blogging then? Just make a blog saying, “cool crap I've seen on other blogs” or something…
